False reports have been circulating of harassment by a transgender girl at a Colorado high school, and now a conservative group says she's committing harassment simply by using the girls' restroom.

An anti-LGBT group has essentially admitted that reports of a transgender student was harassing others at a Colorado school were fabricated, saying the mere presence of the student in the girls' restroom constituted harassment.

The Pacific Justice Institute, which works against LGBT rights, issued a statement this week to transgender rights group TransAdvocate, saying in part, "It is our position that the intrusion of a biological male into a restroom for teenage girls is inherently intimidating and harassing."

Several right-wing news outlets had picked up the story, but administrators at Florence High School said no incidents of harassment had been reported -- one parent had merely brought up their fears of harassment to school officials and the media.
