Democratic and Republican lawmakers in Vermont are siding with a girls’ high school volleyball team that’s been banished from their locker room for complaining about being forced to change in front of a male team member who says he identifies as female.

Blake Allen, one of the banned members of the Randolph Union High School volleyball team, said the teenage girls were told they must now change in a single-stall bathroom while the male teammate can continue to use the girls’ locker room, according to WCAX-TV 3 in Vermont.
