An 11-year-old Colorado girl called her mother in a panic from a hotel bathroom after discovering that the girl she was expected to share a bed with on a school trip was actually a biological male.
No-one had told the girl, the mother or any other parent at Governor’s Ranch Elementary School because the transgender pupil was in ‘stealth mode’ with their sexual identity protected by school board policy.
Mom Serena Wailes said her daughter had to repeatedly ask for a different room, and was then told to lie about the reason she was going in order to protect her bedmate’s privacy.
The family from Littleton are now demanding the school board ensure that parents are told in advance the gender of people their children will be expected to share a bed with.
‘Her bedmate informed her that he was a boy who identified as transgender,’ Wailes told Fox31.
