Female Students Seeking Bathroom Privacy Required To Fill Out ‘Mental Health Accommodation’ Form

Via American Greatness,

A California school district has enacted a new rule for young girls who are uncomfortable sharing a bathroom with biological males pretending to be girls, requiring the girls to file a mental health accommodation request.

The Temecula Valley Unified School District TVUSD has reportedly enacted a rule that tells female students who feel uncomfortable sharing  bathroom space with biological males must file a mental health accommodation request under federal law if they want privacy.

The move has prompted outrage from parents and others who say that the rule treats those girls who object to sharing private space with biological males as the problem and treating their request for privacy as a type of disability.

The form, required by the school district, falls under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and California Education Code § 56000.

UNREAL. Temecula Valley Unified School District (@TVUSD) is reportedly forcing young girls to fill out a “mental health accommodation” form to declare they have a mental health issue if they don’t want boys invading the girls’ restrooms at school.

That law is intended to accommodate children with authentic disabilities, including epilepsy, severe anxiety disorders and diabetes.

The policy is raising concerns among parents who say that school officials or special interest groups pushing gender ideology should not be allowed to redefine basic rights, such as privacy, as “accommodations.”

Sonja Shaw, who is running for California State Superintendent in 2026, describes the new rule as “pure madness,” adding, “The girls are treated as the problem. This is upside-down, dangerous, and exactly what we warned would happen.”

The move by TVUSD officials is just the latest skirmish in a larger battle over biological males in women’s private spaces taking place throughout the nation.

Earlier this year, the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals voted 7-4 to uphold a Florida school policy requiring students to use bathrooms based on their biological sex.

The court’s ruling stated that protecting privacy and safety was not discrimination under Title IX.

Other courts have ruled exactly the opposite, possibly setting the stage for a showdown in the U.S. Supreme Court.
