One student shared how she and "half the women" in her high school avoid going to the bathroom whenever possible "because they're afraid of who might waltz in."

The 50 to 100 students who participated in the walkout decried Loudoun County Public Schools' (LCPS's) Policy8040, implemented in 2021, as a violation of their privacy and safety, reported ABC WJLA. 

A female student told the local outlet she has stopped using the school bathroom entirely because of anxiety, criticizing it as a "massive safety risk" that LCPS refuses to address.

"We express these concerns and they ignore us and write us off as right-wing crazies," she said. "We're not crazy. We just don't want to be in danger on a daily basis in this building. I think it's people finally stepping up and just being sick of it."

"I stopped using [the bathrooms] because I don't know what's going to happen to me in there. And people can be like, 'Oh, well, that's paranoid'," she continued.

"I'm telling you right now half the women in this building feel the same way," she added. "We don't use the bathrooms. We hold our pee until we can't. I mean, there are girls in PE who still get changed in the bathroom stalls in there because they're afraid of who might waltz in."

A male student told WJLA that he is uncomfortable with the possibility that a biological female may be watching him as he changes after football practice.

"I feel that girls feel the same way about the situation. How would you feel if you were a female changing with a male?" he asked.

Another student believes "there are a lot of people who are scared to speak out against it" who "stayed inside because they don't want to see the backlash."
