"In a letter to the Texas Office of the Attorney General, the woman, whose name was redacted by Texas Values, the right-wing anti-trans organization who coached her complaint and published the letter to Paxton, claims that her daughter, a student at Austin High School, informed her that a "biological male" student "has been using the female restrooms and private spaces at Austin High School.""
"The woman notified the school on January 10 of the "violation of the recent law passed by the Texas legislature that requires students to use the private facilities based on their biological sex." After receiving no response from the school after a second complaint, the woman contacted Texas Values, which provided her with a form letter threatening the school."
""I hope that the parent and her daughter can find some relief and put a stop to this or else the school must face consequences for not following the Texas Women's Privacy Act," said Mary Elizabeth Castle, Director of Government Relations for the organization."
A Texas mother submitted a complaint to the state Attorney General's office claiming that Austin High School failed to enforce the Texas Women's Privacy Act, which requires students to use private facilities based on biological sex. The woman reported that a transgender student was using female restrooms and private spaces. After the school ignored her initial complaints and a threatening letter from Texas Values, a right-wing anti-trans organization, she filed a formal complaint with the Attorney General's office. Texas Values, which describes itself as dedicated to faith, family, and freedom, coached the mother through the complaint process and publicized the letter, framing it as the first formal complaint over the bathroom bill's enforcement.
