Local Transgender student responds to bathroom protection reversal

A sophomore student at City High School, Miles Kleve says the guidance protection gave him a sense of relief, but now he says the fear is back.

“I think, it’s ridiculous that people can’t go into a certain bathroom because that’s not what’s in your pants.”

Kleve was 14-years-old when he realized he identified as a male.

In May 2016, the Obama administration ruled to allow transgender students to use the bathroom and locker room with which they identify.

Kleve says the transgender community felt less afraid. “we felt like, I can go in here, I can go where I feel I belong.”
