Overview

• Loudoun County Public Schools launched a Title IX investigation into three male students who voiced discomfort with a transgender female student using the boys' locker room.
• The transgender student allegedly recorded the boys discussing their unease, violating school policy prohibiting recording in private spaces.
• Governor Glenn Youngkin and Attorney General Jason Miyares initiated state investigations, citing concerns over privacy, dignity, and safety under the district's transgender policies.
• The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights is reviewing a Title IX complaint filed earlier this year by America First Legal against Loudoun's Policy 8040.
• The controversy reflects ongoing tensions between local, state, and federal policies on transgender rights, privacy concerns, and parental authority in schools.
