Lawmakers in North Carolina are expected to vote in the next week or so to override Democratic Gov. These legal battles all concern school district policy, but at least nine states are currently enforcing restrictions on which bathrooms transgender students can use. The judge cited a similar Wisconsin case from six years ago that blocked bathroom restrictions.Īt least two federal appeals courts have also ruled in favor of transgender students in at least two bathroom cases in recent years.
The case is not over yet, but the judge indicated that the student’s claims would likely prevail in a trial, so the district must stop enforcing its rule while it’s decided.
The challenge to the policy was filed anonymously by an 11-year-old transgender student and her mother. A federal judge ruled last week that a Wisconsin school district cannot enforce for now a requirement that transgender students use bathrooms and locker rooms that match the sex they were assigned at birth.
