Transgender-rights advocates are asking the Volusia County School Board to allow students to use restrooms of their choosing.
Robert Byrd of Deltona described his son as “a strapping guy with facial hair” who was born female. After being harassed and even slapped in the girl’s bathroom at school, Byrd said, his son now uses the administrators’ restroom.
"For years my child has been required to use a bathroom separate from other students," Byrd said.
