I wanted to know if in California I would be able to have records that reveal my transgender status be taken down from a 3d party website in california. 11 years ago I competed in sports in high school and think my coach at the time posted students records on the website. I just discovered this and requested copies of all my educational records that would have related to extracurricular achievements. None of the records or info on the 3rd party website was given in my student records. I want to know if this would still be able to be something I can contest and have amended or removed based on FERPA. Since the records have information from confidential records in my student file(although I don't think the information was taken from the files everything the website shows are related to the confidential file(if this makes sense)). Would I after 10years be able to contest something like this?

well i said i wanted to use guys bathroom after coming out and school told me i needed to take post down, also that because of safety reasons they would give a gender neutral bathroom which is not what i asked for
In California, schools cannot force you to use a gender-neutral bathroom if you prefer to use the boys' restroom. This could be considered a violation of both federal law (Title IX) and state law (California Education Code section *.*). You may consult with a legal professional for further advice.
what if i don't have any direct evidence showing that they said this but i do have a clinical note from a therapist stating my eagerness to play on the guys track team even though i wouldnt place, and that being on a guys team would make me fit in more. Which never happened because i was placed on the womens team
In California, under the Education Code section *.*, you have the right to participate in sex-segregated school programs and activities, including athletic teams, consistent with your gender identity. The clinical note may serve as a piece of evidence in your favor. Please consult with a legal professional for further advice.
how many pieces of evidence would one need to win a case
The number of pieces of evidence needed to win a case can vary widely. It depends on the complexity of the case, the quality of the evidence, and the legal standards applicable to the claim. It's best to consult with a legal professional for advice tailored to your specific situation.

Evidence that can be accepted in a legal case may include:
- Testimony (statements made in court)
- Documents (letters, emails, records)

- Demonstrative Evidence (diagrams, photos, videos)
