An Adelaide Catholic school student has spoken out about the problem of allowing males to identify as female at school. 

Ava, a teenage girl, has exposed the reality girls face in schools right around Australia who are being lied to, ignored, gaslit and threatened for opposing an ideology based on the deception that people can change sex.

Males identifying as girls are now accessing female sports and spaces, enjoying the protection of principals and sports administrators who do nothing to protect the girls, and in some cases actively work against them. 

Ava and her Mum spoke on camera about the ordeal.

So, we got a bit uncomfortable that there's a boy in a like a female bathroom. So, we got a petition. Some people didn't want to write their names down cuz they like didn't want to get in trouble, but some did. We got over 40 names and we gave it to the principal and they did nothing about it. So, so now girls are now withholding from the toilet at all.Some of them aren't drinking cuz they don't want to share a like bathroom with a boy.

Ava’s Mum said her daughter has spoken to the principal but nothing has happened, her concerns were ignored. Parents were not informed that a male would now have access to female spaces, bathrooms and sport. 

I know Ava has spoken up to the principal as well face to face and hasn't got anywhere. So, I just got a phone call home that her behavior was inappropriate for speaking up.

This is the same story we hear from people right around Australia. Girls and women are being forced to endure the humiliation of having males in their sport and spaces, while being ignored or told to be quiet. They are made to feel as though it is their fault, yet it is the “adults” in the room who are imposing a lie on them that people can change sex. 

The gentle, well spoken teen is simply voicing what the majority of Australians know to be true. Males do not belong in female spaces or sport. Females deserve the safety, dignity, privacy and fairness that sex-specific spaces provide.

The family were told by the school, and the Catholic education department not to go to the media. Thankfully they refused to be gaslit and have spoken out. This is truth speak, it is free speech and it is all based on reality. The fact the school wants to hide reveals just how insidious this ideology is.

Let’s all be like Ava and speak up. As she said so powerfully:

Well, we got to stand up for my own rights cuz like I'm not the only girl that feels uncomfortable. There's more out there.
