Amber Lavigne sues Maine school for helping daughter, 13, change gender without parental consent
Amber Lavigne alleges in the suit that Samuel Roy, an 8th grade counselor at Great Salt Bay Community School, secretly advised her daughter on changing genders and gave her a binder to flatten her chest during a fall counseling session.
The lawsuit names Mr. Roy and other educators as defendants. It seeks to overturn the school’s policy of hiding student gender transitions from unsupportive parents and calling students by different gender pronouns on campus. But school officials noted in public statements dated Dec. 19 and Jan. 14 — both included in court documents — that Great Bay has a legal duty to support transgender students.
“To the extent that the school is not required to use a student’s legal name or gender on school records or other documents, the school should use the name and gender identified in the student’s plan,” state the guidelines, also included in court documents.
