He’s in the PE locker room while girls are changing for gym class.”

Jocelyn Floyd, a lawyer with the Chicago-based Thomas More Society, also represents the parents. She says teenage girls in particular need to feel safe in private spaces. “We’re also talking about high schoolers here, so they’re going through puberty. Their bodies are changing, and girls are menstruating and dealing with maxi pads and tampons and all sorts of things that are awkward enough to do in front of other girls. But it’s a violation, a fundamental violation, of their privacy to have to do that in front of a male person.”

In a statement issued after the suit was filed District 211 superintendent Daniel Cates said the district had created “workable solutions protecting the privacy and honoring the dignity of all students. In his statement, Cates said that individual changing stalls are “readily available to every student.”
