“A transgender student in woke Loudoun County, Virginia, is under investigation for secretly filming 40 or more underage students in a high school bathroom.”
DISPUTED
While multiple sources confirm a student at Freedom High School is under investigation for recording others in bathrooms, there is a direct contradiction regarding the student's identity. One source (Louder With Crowder) claims the student is trans, while the school district spokesman (cited in the claim and referenced in other reports) explicitly stated there are no reports that students involved were in restrooms inconsistent with their biological sex.
