Imagine thinking you’re on the right side of history by forcing young girls to change in front of men.
A California school board sat smugly as a brave 17 year old girl broke down in tears, begging them to stop forcing males into her locker room.

Hear her cry. Hear her story.

Celeste Diest, a high school junior girl’s track athlete at the Lucia Mar Unified School District took the podium during their meeting, Wednesday, recounting her “beyond traumatizing” experience.
"I went into the women's locker room to change for track practice where I saw, at the end of my row, a biological male watching not only myself, but the other young women undress,” she described, as she began to choke up and cry.
Diest emphasized that the man pretending to be a woman is not even changing when he’s staring at the girls in her locker room. Instead, he’s “in his track clothes, dressed and ready to go to practice at the beginning of the day.”
"Adults like yourself make me and my peers feel like our own comfort was invalid, even though our privacy was and still is completely violated,” she cried to the stone faced board.
The girl was quickly interrupted by the board’s soulless president, Colleen Martin
“Okay, please wrap it up,” she callously interjected.
Diest sniffled a few times, and continued her harrowing last words.
"I just want to ask ‘what about us?’ We can not sit around and allow our rights to be given up to cater to an individual that is a man, who watches women undress and is stripping away female opportunity that once was fought for us. Sadly we have to try and regain our rights back. I hope you put effort into the restoration of our school safety,” she finished.
The room gave her a roaring applause, before Martin quickly hushed them up.
Looks like California will be the next state to have a Title IX lawsuit on their hands.
