A federal appeals court upheld an earlier ruling, allowing an 11-year-old transgender girl to use the girls' bathroom at her school in Wisconsin. The court found the Mukwonago Area School District's policy, which would force her to use the boys' restroom or a gender-neutral option, likely violated her Title IX and Equal Protection rights. This decision highlighted the potential harm to the student and affirmed the rejection of the school district's claims regarding due process after it implemented the discriminatory policy following parental complaints.
The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals reaffirmed the rights of an 11-year-old transgender girl to use the girls' bathroom, blocking a discriminatory school policy.
Ultimately, the court emphasized that imposing birth-assigned restrictions on restroom use would likely violate Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause.
