"The president has made it incredibly clear that it is the policy of this administration that there are ... only two sexes—rather, male and female—and that we are not going to tolerate such behavior by men pretending to be women," Leavitt told The Daily Signal at Wednesday's press briefing.

Deerfield, Illinois, mother Nicole Georgas filed a complaint with the Department of Justice after she said the assistant principal and two other teachers forced her 13-year-old daughter to change in front of a male classmate who "identifies" as a transgender girl.

Georgas says Shepard Middle School's policy on transgender-identifying students using female private spaces violates President Donald Trump's Feb. 5 executive order, which also prohibits male participation in women's sports.

"The president will continue to strongly stand for the rights of women and girls," Leavitt told The Daily Signal, "not just in sports and on athletic fields, but also in private spaces like locker rooms and bathrooms."

The mother thanked Leavitt on X for her response to The Daily Signal's question.

The daughter was extremely traumatized by being forced to change in front of a male, despite expressing discomfort to school staff, her mother said.

"My child completely freaked out," Georgas said. "Was not having it. She called me, started crying, and ran out of the locker room as fast as she could."

Illinois state Rep. Bob Morgan, a Democrat, suggested the middle-school girls involved in the incident lied about it:

"I'm really proud of my community who stood up for those who need to be defended and protected, making sure we have great schools—which we do, by the way. We have incredible, incredible schools, incredible families, an incredible community that has come together to deal with this situation," Morgan said during an Illinois General Assembly session Tuesday.
