The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that Idaho may prohibit transgender students from accessing bathrooms corresponding to their gender identity, creating a significant legal precedent. This ruling prioritizes the privacy interests of cisgender students over the discrimination faced by transgender individuals, stripping them of much of their Title IX protections. It contradicts previous rulings affirming equal protection rights for transgender peoples and suggests that a person's sex is determined at birth, thereby classifying transgender youth as the 'opposite sex' legally, which threatens their federal protections significantly.
In a stunning decision, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that Idaho can ban transgender students from using bathrooms that align with their gender identity, prioritizing privacy concerns over equal protection rights.
The court stated that a person's sex is 'typically identified at birth,' effectively categorizing transgender youth as the 'opposite sex' in legal terms and posing risks to their protections under federal law.
