Supreme Court refuses case blocking trans teens from using school bathrooms of their choice
The case centers on whether allowing trans students into bathrooms of their choice violates the privacy rights of others
www.independent.co.uk
The Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear a case challenging an Oregon school’s policy of allowing transgender students to use the bathroom that matches their gender identity.
The ruling advances a legal understanding of gender and privacy that’s more expansive and inclusive of trans people, and runs counter to liberal concerns that the conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s recent appointment to the high court would swing it far to the right.
The American Civil Liberties Union, which intervened in the case, celebrated the decision.
A win for common decency and a loss for the forces of regression and hate.
