A group calling itself “North Carolinians for Privacy” has sued the Department of Justice and the Department of Education over the Obama adminsitration’s demand that educational institutions in North Carolina “allow biological males to use restrooms and locker rooms designated for women and … allow biological females to use restrooms and locker rooms designated for men.” The plaintiffs include students in the University of North Carolina System and students in North Carolina primary and secondary schools and their parents.

In their complaint the plaintiffs jointly allege that:

Title IX’s accompanying regulations confirm that schools “may provide separate toilet, locker room, and shower facilities on the basis of sex, [as long as] such facilities provided for students of one sex [are] comparable to such facilities provided for students of the other sex.”

Preventing the mixing of biological boys and girls in intimate environments like restrooms, locker rooms, and showers is the very reason that Congress allowed for separate living facilities, and that Title IX regulations allow for separate restrooms, locker rooms, and changing areas, for the different sexes….

The university students go on to say that:

If the University System capitulates to DOJ’s threat, the University Students will suffer the loss of their constitutional right to privacy, because they will be compelled by the government to use restrooms and locker rooms with members of the opposite sex.

The female University Students in particular object to the privacy violations created by allowing biological males the right of entry and use of restrooms and locker rooms designated for females….

The female University Students are deeply concerned that male students whose gender identity matches their male biology might take advantage of such policies for nefarious and lewd purposes.

After citing the alarming statistics reported by the federal government pertaining to sexual assualt of college age women, and the President’s statement that, “An estimated one in five women has been sexually assaulted during her college years,” they add:

The female University Students are deeply concerned that allowing biological male students into their private facilities increases the likelihood that they will be assaulted or otherwise victimized.

Additionally, some of the University Students object to using restrooms and locker rooms with members of the opposite sex because of their sincerely held religious beliefs regarding modesty and nudity….

The primary and secondary school students and their parents list similar concerns:

If the Minor Students’ schools capitulate to DOJ’s threat, the Minor Students will suffer the loss of their constitutional right to privacy, because they will be compelled by the government to use restrooms and locker rooms with members of the opposite sex….

If the Minor Students’ schools capitulate to DOJ’s threat, each Parent’s right to direct the education and upbringing of their children—including their right to control whether their children will be exposed to people of the opposite sex in intimate, vulnerable settings like restrooms, locker rooms, and showers—will be violated because their minor children will be compelled by the government to use restrooms and locker rooms with members of the opposite sex.

All of the Parents object to their children, the Minor Students, using restrooms and locker rooms with opposite-sex students, enduring the risk of exposure to opposite-sex nudity, and enduring the risk of exposing their own undressed or partially unclothed bodies to members of the opposite sex.

Additionally, some of the Minor Students and Parents object to the Minor Students using restrooms and locker rooms with members of the opposite sex because of their sincerely held religious beliefs regarding modesty and nudity.
