Wake Up. States are facilitating sexual offenses against teenage girls
Just because states have orchestrated the opportunities does not make sexual harassment, voyeurism, indecent exposure, sexual assault, and rape any less illegal
By mandating that boys can join girls’ sports and use girls’ locker rooms, the state of Washington and the Washington Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) have, for the last 19 years, facilitated sexual abuse of girls on an industrial scale. Sexual harassment, voyeurism, indecent exposure, sexual assault, and rape. These are state sponsored, state enabled, state facilitated, state orchestrated offenses against ALL girls in every public middle school and high school in the state. Calling it inclusion does not make voyeurism and indecent exposure legal. Making misdemeanors and felonies a law does not make them any less illegal. If anything, it makes them more egregious.
I am writing this in bold font because I don’t think most people have seen”inclusion” for what it is—state facilitated crimes against girls.
Any boy is free to come into the girls’ locker room, watch girls undress and shower without their consent in a place they have reasonable expectation of privacy—and they have. That’s the definition of voyeurism. Any boy is free to expose himself to girls in the girls’ locker room causing affront and offense—and they have. That’s the definition of indecent exposure. By being in the locker room and on the playing field in close physical contact with girls, spaces that are designated for females, boys necessarily create a hostile, offensive, and intimidating environment that’s sexual in nature—and they have. That’s the definition of sexual harassment. By state mandate, boys are provided the opportunity to touch, grab, sexually assault, or rape girls—and they have.
No one, certainly not girls, not even school officials, can question them or prevent them from perpetrating these crimes. Because Washington has made the opportunity for sexual abuse of girls a state law. Think about that. It’s been going on for 19 years. Think about the number of girls violated. By state law.
”They’re not just saying if you want to do this, it’s okay. They are making opportunities—let us help you, we will open the door for you, let us put you in the right position. They have orchestrated opportunities for sexual abuse, sexual harassment, and even rape.” This from Kim Jones, co-founder of ICONS, the Independent Council on Women’s Sport.
What could be even more appalling than state facilitated sexual abuse of girls?
“I was at the 2023 ICONS conference where Paula Scanlan spoke,” Kara Dansky recalled. “I mentioned that what happened with Will Thomas [being naked in the women’s locker room] violated Penn’s own internal policies on sexual harassment. Paula told me, ‘Until this minute, it hadn’t occurred to me that this constituted sexual harassment.’”
As an NCAA athlete, Scanlan had taken training on how to identify sexual harassment, how to protect yourself from it, what to do about it. But she didn’t recognize sexual harassment for what it was—an illegal offense—because Penn was enforcing it. It was their policy.
“They [girls] don’t know, they don’t realize it,” Dansky said. “They’ve been gaslit so thoroughly. They’re required to believe some boys are girls and they’re threatened if they complain. They’re told they need to seek counseling to get over their discomfort with being naked in front of a naked man. They’re told they’re being mean and insufficiently inclusive.”
The public at large has been similarly gaslit. We all know what voyeurism is, what indecent exposure is, what sexual harassment, sexual assault, and rape are. We know those are misdemeanors or felonies. But we don’t recognize them as such when they’re mandated by state law. We’re blinded by the overwhelming cognitive dissonance that a state law is facilitating something unlawful against teenage girls. We can’t wrap our minds around the fact that governments, schools, athletic associations whose job it is to protect and uphold the rights of girls, and who constantly claim that they are dedicated to safety, are in fact knowingly facilitating sexual harassment, voyeurism, indecent exposure, and are providing opportunities for sexual assault, and rape, on an industrial scale. All girls, in all middle schools and high schools, in Washington, Oregon, California, Colorado, Minnesota, Maine, Massachusetts, 21 states in all, for over a decade. It’s so massive and so appalling and so blatant, people, particularly those responsible, don’t want to see it for what it is. They pretend they can’t see it. They call it inclusion. Every congressperson in Washington, every principal, every athletic director, every member of the WIAA knows that boys watching girls undress and shower is not inclusion, it’s voyeurism. They know a male sticking his fingers in a girls’ vagina during a wrestling match is not inclusion, it’s rape. A state facilitated, state orchestrated Class C Felony.
The Pierce County Sheriff’s Office found probable cause that a male competing on the Emerald Ridge High School girls’ wrestling team raped a female competitor during a match on December 5, 2025. The case has been forwarded to the state prosecutor. Rape in the third degree is a Class C Felony.
Washington lawmakers, school administrators at all levels, and WIAA members are all aware that about 96% of rapists are male, and about 90% of the victims of rape are female. These overwhelming stats, along with males’ indisputable advantage in sports, underpin sex separated sports, locker rooms, and bathrooms. By mandating that boys be allowed to join girls’ sports and use girls’ locker rooms, they knowingly orchestrate opportunities for rape to happen. They removed all barriers, provided boys every opportunity to rape—close physical contact both on the field or mat and in the locker room—and hid boys’ sex from girls, thereby preventing girls from being able to protect themselves.
The female wrestler, 16-year-old Kallie Keeler, in keeping with WIAA policy of protecting trans-identified athlete’s privacy, was not told her opponent was male before the match, and neither was her coach. LGB Courage Coalition commented:
“Beyond Title IX, Keeler may have grounds for a straightforward negligence claim. Her own coach admitted in writing that he would not have allowed her to compete had he known her opponent was male. That admission establishes that the risk was foreseeable, that a trained professional recognized it, and that the district’s decision to withhold the biological sex of her opponent directly caused her harm.”
After the match, another coach told her her opponent was male. Keeler filed a complaint with her school, Rogers High School, saying her opponent put his fingers in her vagina during the match. This alleged assault was captured on video.
Rogers High School promised Keeler and her mother they would do “due diligence,” which means mandatory reporting of the complaint to law enforcement. But they did nothing. For 54 days. And would have continued to do nothing had journalist Brandi Kruse not publicized the alleged assault. Rogers High School finally contacted Pierce County Sheriff’s Office on January 30. A mandated reporter failing to report a complaint of sexual abuse within 48 hours is itself an offense.
During those 54 days, 13 female athletes at Emerald Ridge High School, including girls on the wrestling team with the male wrestler, filed a complaint with their school that some boys in their locker room were making them uncomfortable as they undressed. The boys weren’t changing clothes; they were just watching the girls do so. That’s voyeurism. The girls simply did not recognize it as the offense that it is. One of those boys was the wrestler who was accused of sexual assault. The principal, Ed Crow, sent an email to the girls' parents, saying he'd spoken with the "girls" (boys), asking them to use a different changing space. Even if he had to pretend this was not voyeurism, the principal understood the reality of the situation—that females were uncomfortable undressing in front of males, and that this was not right. The boys did not come into the girls’ locker room, for one day. But then they decided they wanted to use the girls' locker room, because they could. By law. So they returned to the girls’ locker room, just watching the girls undress. And no one, not even school officials, could prevent them. When the girls again complained to Emerald Ridge school officials about the fact that the boys were still in their locker room, watching them undress, they were presented with printouts defining gender identity concepts.
Voyeurism may be easier to pass off as boys using the locker room that aligns with their gender identity, but rape is harder to rename. Disgustingly, the violation had to rise to the level of rape before the criminality of the whole scheme could be seen.
In Washington, voyeurism is defined as the non-consensual, surreptitious viewing, photographing, or filming of a person’s intimate areas or nudity in a place with a reasonable expectation of privacy for sexual gratification. It is a Class C felony, punishable by up to five years in prison, with required sex offender registration.
Sputtering excuses could be made that the boys were merely in the girls’ locker room to change their clothes, but they were not changing their clothes. They were watching the girls undress. It would be a stretch to say this was for any purpose other than sexual gratification.
In Washington, indecent exposure (RCW 9A.88.010) is defined as intentionally exposing oneself or another in an open, obscene manner, knowing it is likely to cause alarm or affront. It is typically a misdemeanor (90 days jail, $1,000 fine), but upgrades to a gross misdemeanor for victims under 14 and potentially a Class C felony for repeat offenders.
Again, since middle school and high school boys are 100% intact males, (of course Will (Lia) Thomas was intact), girls will quite naturally experience alarm or affront when presented with male genitalia in their locker room. They may be conditioned to accept it, but the instinct is there. Naked boys in the girls’ locker room is indecent exposure.
Sexual harassment is defined as a "form of illegal sex discrimination involving unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct that is based on sex. It is illegal …when it creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment. All forms of sexual harassment are illegal, and employers may be liable for this behavior if they do not take the proper steps to address it.”
Being male with a penis and testes, something all girls know on sight, creates an intimidating, hostile, and offensive environment in what should be an all-female environment. Gender identity is irrelevant. It’s stupid to pretend otherwise.
These definitions speak to individual instances. I found nothing that addressed institutionalized sexual harassment, institutionalized voywurism or indecent exposure, probably because governments had not thought, prior to the capture by gender ideology, to institutionalize something that they had already deemed illegal.
Washington and the 20 other states that facilitate sexual offenses against girls disguise their complicity in crime by calling it inclusion. We have to see it for what it is.




Thank you Sarah for another excellent column. Appreciate the quote from Kim Jones who is, as you know, a ROCK STAR. While I already knew these stories prior to reading your column, it was still very painful to read about them again. I am so sick of the privacy violation of girls and the sexual abuse of girls that is occurring. And you are correct---these are actually being sanctioned by the state. It is beyond disgusting. We keep fighting.
Thank you for speaking loudly about the serious negative impacts that the “inclusiveness” agenda has had — and continues to have — on females, athletes and otherwise.
Some will claim your bluntness to be intolerably offensive, but many of us recognize why you must use clear language in the face of the word salads that are used to disguise the emptiness of their ideas.
