When Did We Stop Believing Women – Daily Update June 3, 2026

In this Daily Update, I dig into a Cabarrus County, North Carolina case now under federal Title IX investigation after a biological male was allowed in the girls’ locker room, and the girls’ complaints were brushed aside. I explain what Title IX was designed to protect, and how school officials failed their legal and moral duty to respond to harassment claims from female students. We talk about the broader cultural moment where women and girls are told to “go somewhere else” instead of being defended in their own spaces. And I ask a simple question that should unsettle all of us: when did we stop believing women ?

We must always believe the women, unless there is a transgender involved. This is the Wilmington Standard Daily Update for Wednesday, June 3rd, 2026. The Center Square and the New York Post are reporting that Cabarrus County School District here in North Carolina is under Title IX investigation by the Trump administration for allowing a transgender female student, a biological boy wearing girls clothes, access to girls changing areas. Female students complained, stating that while they had no real objection to him wearing girls clothes and being on the cheer team, they did have a problem with him being in their locker rooms and watching girls change clothes. Title IX was passed in 1972 to give women a needed boost in sports, as well as provide protections against discrimination based on gender. Part of that law requires school officials must respond to any and all formal complaints of harassment and must initiate a formal investigation. Their principal, who is now thankfully no longer employed as a school official, believed their complaints but told the girls, not the boy, that they go somewhere else to change. That school official should go to jail for what he allowed to happen, especially after he was informed about it. The coaches and other involved school officials need to lose their jobs, and the parents of the boy need to be held accountable by the parents of the girls involved by allowing, and obviously encouraging, their child to continue in the mental delusion that a biological boy can be anything other than a biological boy. But a bigger question remains. When did we stop believing women? When did we start thinking that women, including our young girls, must demean themselves to change in front of boys and men in order to participate in sports? When did it become okay to dismiss complaints of women who feel deeply offended and violated by the presence of a biological boy with all his body parts and hormones intact in the middle of a locker room? Why do we poo-poo the fears of women who will not play against men in sports where the male's superior physical strength not only tips to scale for that match but can result in lifelong injury to the female players? When did we stop believing that men and women, while equal in the eyes of God, are not equal on the sporting field and will flourish when allowed to compete in their own spaces? Women have fought hard for their rights in all aspects of our country. Why won't we respect them now? For the Wilmington Standard, I'm Reuel Sample. Thanks for listening.
