"They argue that schools have historically maintained separate facilities to protect what they describe as 'bodily privacy' in 'intimate spaces,' and contend the district has departed from that framework."
"The lawsuit seeks a permanent injunction that would require the district to restrict bathrooms and locker rooms based on sex assigned at birth, along with a declaration that the current policy violates both Title IX and the Constitution."
"According to Glisten's 2025 School Climate Survey, 41 percent were stopped or punished for using bathrooms aligned with their gender, and 64 percent avoided school bathrooms altogether."
