It’s crazy how heartless some people can be.
A video is going viral of a teenager in California crying while explaining what she felt from having to participate against a transgender (biological male) in female sports. And get this: The president of the school board attempted to block the pure emotion out.
The scene went down Wednesday in Arroyo Grande, California while the Lucia Mar Unified School District (LMUSD) board was holding a meeting. Celeste Diest, a junior who competes on the Arroyo Grande High School girls’ track team, testified to the board about what she’s been experiencing around a trans athlete.
Diest talked about the embarrassment that she’s been through being forced to share a locker room with a male, saying that the trans athlete looked at her and her teammates while they were getting undressed.

“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. This experience was beyond traumatizing,” said Diest while crying.
“Okay, please wrap it up,” warned LMUSD board president Colleen Martin, interrupting Diest while she was speaking
“I just want to ask ‘what about us?’” continued Diest. “We cannot 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.”
