As California’s transgender athlete conflict increases, a high school athlete has resorted to changing clothes in her car to avoid uncomfortable situations.
During a meeting of the Lucia Mar Unified School School Board (LMUSD) this week, the young Audrey Vanherweg revealed her decision.
“I totally disagree with what is happening in the girls ‘locker room and in the girls’ athletics team, so much that I change in my car for the track practice because I feel much more comfortable in my car than in my own school’s locker room,” said Vanherweg.

Vanherweg is not the first LMUSD girl to express anxiety about the athletic wardrobe this season.
During a meeting in April, his partner Athletics Athlete Junior Celeste Diest related his experience having to change in front of a biological trans athlete before practice, while that athlete supposedly observed her undress.
“I entered the women’s locker room to change for the practice of track where I saw, at the end of my row, a biological man who watched not only myself, but also the other young women. This experience was more than traumatic,” Diest said, starting to cry.
California De compares the law of ‘Save Girls Sports’ with Nazi Germany, since two prohibition invoices of trans athletes cannot be approved
“Adults like you make us feel my colleagues to feel that our own comfort was not valid, although our privacy was and is still completely violated.”
Both meetings included several parents who spoke in opposition to the athletes have been present, while other members of the community spoke in support of trans inclusion. Both meetings also included as many speakers advocated transgender athletes.
At this week’s meeting, a Track and Field athlete described the decision to join the women’s team while using a flag of transgender pride.
“When I joined the track last year, I was terrified,” said the athlete. “I was alone, and I was afraid of my life. When I began to go to track, I was too afraid of making friends. I thought they would reject me and make fun of me for being transgender. In my first encounter, I sat alone, in the wet and muddy field.
“I fear that someone would accuse me of an atrocious crime, so I walked on thin shaver. I never spent more than three minutes in the locker room. I never made visual contact with the people,” said the athlete. “And yet, people still accuse me, someone who deals with sexual harassment daily, to be a predator. So, I am here to say that I am not the villain, I am the victim.”
The women’s rights activist and former NCAA Riley Gaines, leader in the National Movement to protect the sports of women and girls, previously told Pak Gazette Digital who believes that the trans athletes involved in the current cultural war are victims.
“I also see them as victims. I really do. They have been victims of movement. Unfortunately they have fallen into the lie that they were not created uniquely and intentionally to the perfect image of God. And that is a horrible message to send anyone,” Gaines said.
“I think they are also victims, which is the sad reality of gender ideology movement.”
California has allowed transgender athletes to compete in the sports of girls since 2014. The Sports League of California High School, the CIF, was one of the first in the country to openly challenge the executive order of President Donald Trump “keeping men out of women’s sports” after it was signed on February 5.
The CIF is under investigation by the United States Department of Education for possible violations of Title IX on the subject.
The California state legislature failed to approve two bills backed by the Republican party to reverse the current policies that allow men in the sport of girls after each Democrat voted against him on April 1.
