The Supreme Court indicated support on Monday for a lower court’s ruling in favor of Gavin Grimm, an advocate for the transgender community who sued his school district for not allowing him to use the boy’s restroom.
Grimm, now 22, sued Gloucester County Public Schools in 2015 with the aid of the ACLU. The school board passed a policy requiring students to use bathrooms corresponding with their gender assigned at birth, or to use one of a few gender-neutral restrooms.
In the lawsuit, Grimm and his lawyers argued that Title IX and the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause protect Grimm and other transgender students from policies that restrict gender expression, including the bathroom policy - which effectively singled out Grimm as the only openly transgender student.
