Woodgrove High School students in Purcellville, Virginia, have staged a walkout in protest of the school's trans bathroom policies. The policies, which allow transgender students to use the bathrooms and locker rooms of their choice, have sparked controversy among some students who are demanding the return to traditional male and female-only spaces.

During the walkout, students held posters and chanted slogans advocating for "Girls only, Boys only" spaces. Some students expressed concerns about privacy and safety, citing incidents like the alleged rape of a teenage girl in a high school bathroom by a male student wearing a skirt. The girl's parents have filed a $30 million lawsuit against the school, accusing them of failing to adequately investigate the assault and attempting to cover it up.

The school's trans bathroom policies, officially known as Policy 8040, were approved by the Loudoun County district with a 7-2 vote. However, the controversy continues to divide the student body. While some students support the policies and insist on the importance of inclusivity, others argue that their concerns regarding privacy and safety are being ignored.

The walkout at Woodgrove High School highlights the ongoing debate surrounding trans rights and the balance between inclusivity and maintaining traditional gender-separated spaces in schools. The school district will need to address the concerns raised by students and parents to ensure a safe and supportive learning environment for all students.
