In the face of a jeering crowd of anti-woman lobbyists, one bold female student at Arroyo Grande High School in California took to the mic during a recent school board meeting to complain about being forced to change her clothes and share her sex-specific private facilities with a gender-confused boy, who she testified likes to stand in the locker room and watch her and her fellow female students undress.
Not, of course, that leftists care.
Celeste Duyst, an actual female student who runs track at Arroyo Grande High, bravely stood up and defended the right of young women to compete on sports teams with other female athletes, without being pitted against biological boys with an insurmountable physical advantage.

As he sat behind her, Norcross put on noise-cancelling headphones and smirked. Several adults in the crowd actually LAUGHED at Celeste derisively. pic.twitter.com/KKGQUabQnJ
"Currently there are men trying to eliminate female sports through the transgender movement. This is not okay," Duyst testified.

"Currently, perception and feelings are being used as evidence to qualify oneself as a woman. A person is not a woman based on their thoughts or perceptions, but on their DNA and anatomy. Most females don’t appreciate competing with biologically unfair competition and don’t want to change with a boy watching them," she went on.
Duyst added that she is “not transphobic” and bears “no hatred towards the transgender community” - to the jeering laughter of anti-woman audience members.
Even still, this courageous high schooler continued to stand up for the right of girls to play fair sports and retain their privacy, explaining that "The reason why I’m speaking is because my rights and safety are no longer valued."
This is at least the second time Duyst has been forced to come before the school board simply to defend her ability to get dressed into her gym clothes without being oggled by a gender-confused dude who’s been allowed into girls’ spaces based on his “identity.” Last month, Duyst choked up while testifying about her experience having to get undressed with a boy watching her.
Last month, Celeste teared up as she recounted being made to undress in front of Norcross.

"I went into the women's locker room to change for track practice, where I saw a biological male watching not only myself, but the other young women undress. This experience was beyond traumatizing,” she tearfully explained.
“Adults like yourself made me and my peers feel like our own comfort is invalid,” Duyst sobbed.
Despite the fact that allowing a biological male into women’s bathrooms and clocker rooms, or allowing men to compete on women’s sports teams, shouldn’t even be up for discussion, much less debate, the Lucia Mar Unified School District has continued to give preference to the feelings or gender-deluded students, even at the expense of the safety, privacy, and fairness of every female student in their schools.
At the same school board meeting, a biologically male student by the name of Liam Norcross - who goes by “Lily” now - took to the mic draped in a “transgender pride” flag to whine about being the target of harassment and discrimination, despite the fact that his high school is allowing him to invade girls’ spaces and stare at them while they change their clothes.

“As a transgender student, I have been threatened and harassed on a nearly weekly basis,” he complained, calling his forced inclusion as a girl “a matter of basic human rights.”
It’s actually a matter of basic human biology (not, again, that leftists care) and common sense (not that they have any).
It’s time to pull your kids out of public schools, folks.
