A biological female who identifies as a male, per California law, has been using the male bathroom.
Quote:
The teen, who is biologically female but identifies as male, had told officers he was leaving a boy's bathroom at the school Monday morning when three other boys pushed him inside a large stall and attacked him.
Officers took his statement and opened an investigation that included a sexual assault examination. But as the investigation continued, officers could not substantiate the facts of the boy's statement, including the time frame, and the he lacked any physical injuries to his head, face and hands, police said.
The student finally admitted he had made up the story during the follow-up interview with a detective Tuesday, Van Putten said. She would not speculate on why he had lied.
"We investigated this thing as a true crime. We went at it full force until we found out there was no crime," Van Putten said. "So people should know if they believe they are a victim of a crime, we are going to give them our full attention."
The change left open the possibility that the teen could be charged with making a false criminal report, she said.
Mario Trujillo, spokesman for the West Contra Costa Unified School District, said school officials are less concerned with punishing the student than making sure he gets the support he needs to feel safe and comfortable at school.
If other students were questioned or accused this shouldn't be just brushed under the rug, being accused of rape is a very serious charge. Aside from that, investigating false reports wastes valuable resources.

Ben-David Barr, executive director of the Rainbow Community Center, which sponsors youth groups for gay and transgender youth in Contra Costa County, said that without further investigation, he was reluctant to believe the latest case had simply been invented and then recanted.
"I think we have to be really careful about what this recantation means," Barr said. "We don't know if he was pressured to recant, pressured by family, pressured by law enforcement. There is a lot of information we still need to know."
Uhm... how about teenagers like drama and so he lied?

Well, the article consistently calls someone with a vagina a "he" so it's all invalid if you ask me.
The law that allows this young woman to use a mens restroom is sick anyway. I was floored when I first heard of it months ago. This is nutzo, even for California's standards...

Me too, even when it's an agenda I passionately agree about.
This time around however the PC police are experimenting on our children which is guarateed to confuse the whole gender issue even more. But IMO that's what the gay lobby is up to...their whole respect argument is bs when they push this nonsense.
How does a lying teenager making up an assault indicate there is a problem with the law???
So what did the law do to her for making up an assault ?
