Former Norfolk, Virginia, police officer Meghan Grabow filed a lawsuit against the city and its police chief, alleging that the department allowed a biological male who identifies as a woman to use the women’s locker room, according to legal documents obtained by Fox News Digital. The incident, which occurred on August 24, 2024, involved Grabow changing in the women’s locker room when the male recruit entered while wearing a suit and tie. Grabow stated that the recruit looked at her “as a man would look at a woman” before moving to another part of the locker room ¹.

Grabow claims that when she expressed discomfort to her superiors, she was told to “learn to deal with it” and “find another locker room” if she felt uneasy. Police Chief Mark Talbot allegedly informed concerned officers that the hired individual “will use the restroom that’s appropriate for her gender” and instructed them to refer to the recruit as “she.” Other officers also voiced concerns about not being warned about sharing facilities with a biological male, with Talbot acknowledging that the situation could have been handled “better” ¹. Grabow is seeking $15 million in compensatory damages, alleging intentional infliction of emotional distress and violation of her religious freedoms by being forced to share a changing facility with a biological male and validate transgender ideology against her Catholic beliefs ¹.
