A Washington college said their non-discrimination policy
prevents them from stopping a transgender man from
exposing himself to young
girls inside a women’s locker room, according to a group of concerned parents.
“Little girls should not be exposed to naked men, period,”
said David Hacker, senior legal counsel with the Alliance Defending Freedom. A
group of concerned parents contacted the legal firm for help.
Hacker said a 45-year-old male student, who dresses as a
woman and goes by the name Colleen Francis, undressed and exposed his genitals
on several occasions inside the woman’s locker room at Evergreen State College.
Students from nearby Olympia High School as well as children
at a local swimming club share locker rooms with the college.
According to a police report, the mother of a 17-year-old
girl complained after her daughter saw the transgender individual walking naked
in the locker room. A female swim coach confronted the man sprawled out in a
sauna exposing himself. She ordered him to leave and called police.
The coach later apologized when she discovered the man was
transgendered but explained there were girls using the facility as young as six
years old who weren’t used to seeing male genitals.
According to the police report, the local district attorney
probably will not pursue charges because he said the “criminal law is very
vague in this area.”
