Supreme Court upholds a lower court ruling that allowed a transgender student to use the bathroom that corresponded to his gender identity

The case concerns the scope of Title IX that prohibits schools from discriminating"on the basis of sex." It began when Gavin Grimm, a transgender male who was then a high-school student, challenged the local school board's decision to require him to use either a unisex restroom or a restroom that corresponds to the sex, female, he was assigned at birth. Justice Clarence Thomas and Justice Samuel Alito said they would have taken up the case for next term.

Read MoreGrimm filed suit against the board in 2015, arguing that the school's policy violated Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause. The Obama Justice Department filed a"statement of interest" accusing the board of violating Title IX. A federal appeals court deferred to the interpretation ruling in Grimm's favor. The school board appealed the decision to the Supreme Court, which agreed to take up the case.

KarissaScience 4 months ago seems like 4 years ago!

Unacceptable. I personally will be the first to say get the hell out.

If this sick deprivation has to continue then there should be a law to make it illegal to transgender until your 21. You have to be 21 to smoke & drink so those people should have to be 21 to change their gender and it would stop this boys being in the girls bathroom crap.

With all the garbage our schools waste money on put in individual bathrooms with locked doors for everyone to use. Regardless of identity.

Not allowing or feeling uncomfortable about a Trans person using the same bathroom as you is equal to when white people in this country weren’t comfortable with whites and blacks in the same room. Grow up and get over yourself people.

Nobody seems to care that these kids are being set up for failure in doing this. Girls claiming to be boys will be sexually assaulted in men's rooms and boys claiming to be girls will be beat down by fathers of actual girls forced to share a restroom with a 'man'.

It's all bollocks.... men can only ever be men and women can only ever be women. There are only 2 genders... its worked like that for thousands of years, so well we have 6,000,000,000 people on the planet created by 'men' and 'women' coming together. That's a fact

I’m sorry my granddaughter does not fill comfortable going into a restroom anywhere where there will be a male. This is common sense people.

On buses and trains it's unisex, what's the problem with that? Too many prudes

Boys are boys and girls are girls!! Pick one and maybe stick with it…

So wrong.

Who cares? Go into a stall. Do ur duty. Wash ur hands on ur way out. This ain’t hard for fucksakes

Ridiculous

Im sure HIS parents are proud

How about just have private bathroom in the schools

Dont want no dude thinking he is a woman to go into girls bathrooms. No WAY BRO/HER. This is not like hating on different races that is a IGNORANT issue. All humans have different skin tones..BUT A HUMAN BORN WITH A GENDER AND WANTING CHANGE? IS A PERSONAL ISSUE.

What could possibly go wrong? The empire is crumbling

I have a good friend. His daughter did the whole sex change dealeo and when I met her I thought it was a boy, like I really did. She identifies as a boy too. So, I understand that she would want to use the men's restroom. I still identify her as Christina though.

There is no answer. Awkwardness and stress just to use the bathroom.

What a pathetic joke! I identify as a horse, because.... reasons. I think I might have to visit the Supreme Court and shit on the floor. Because horses use any surface as a restroom! Bring on the stupidity! I'm happy to oblige!

Snowflake behavior to the MAX!! He was able to use a private bathroom, a privilege denied the rest of the students. One in the day of vaping my kid would DIE for. This royally ticks me off

Falling like flying isn’t it? Speed up the show... Never stop Plz...

I went to a highschool that didn't even have doors on their bathrooms just a partition so it really doesn't matter who goes in

Do they have to use the bathroom? Interesting…

Gender labeled bathrooms are racist and contribute to global warming.

All of this is the result of social media. Transgender, the new fad, brought to you by Twitter and TikTok.

You are now assigned a sex at birth, apparently. I thought they looked at your genitalia and confirmed which sex you are. 🤷‍♂️

Could care less. I have been to countries that still have coed public bathrooms.

These people should have designated schools, they never going to fit in,not in mine, but leave me puzzled, I am 72 years old and I didn't even know these people existed but lately thanks to the advent of the freaky medical establishment and now we have enigmatic realty. Excuse me

Common sense says, use the bathroom for your biological sex.

Watch this before..😱

There are boys and girls that’s it!!! Fuck Trans people….. they just want something for nothing

looks like american problem, too fast readin

He looks male so he should be using the mens' room.

He can pee sitting down in most men’s bathrooms! Just saying.

🤦‍♂️ W...T...f....

Sodom and gomorah

If you have a penis you use the mens bathroom, if you have a vagina you use the women’s bathroom. It’s really that simple.

You can wish you were a certain gender all you want it still doesn't change what you are

🤮🤮🤮🤮

Good.

It's a certiorai denial--which is a refusal to take up a case & very different from a decision. Those always get confused by journalists but they are very different. The cert. den. merely allows the lower ct decision to stand & is a much weaker precedent.

court wont protect he/she form a huge beating...let sse he/she follow a bunch of muslim women into the ladies room:)

As long as no one is peeping (not happening) - who cares?

“Boy Parts” should use “Boy Part” bathrooms. Keep your “Boy Parts” away from my daughter’s bathroom in school.

Corruption AbsolutelyNot

The people who are against letting transgender people use the bathrooms of their gender identity claim it makes them uncomfortable to have a 'man' in the women's room. But if they actually encountered a F2M guy forced to use the women's room, they'd freak out about that too.

Stop pretending y'all give a fuck about women. If you care abt women, care abt them in more than just bathrooms. Care abt us being raped while on a jog and in the parking lot and after a date. Transwomen are not the issue.

Hope there's no games in the women's bathroom... Florida won't let them compete

This makes people feel uncomfortable.

Virginia public school board acted unlawfully in preventing a transgender student from using a bathroom at his high school that corresponded with his gender identity .

Open season on the ladies

If all public bathrooms have stalls with locking doors installed, there is no need for gender based bathrooms. It's archaic. It's like not having a diaper changing station in the 'men's' room because dads never have to change a baby's diaper 😑. Oh and communal urinals are 🤢

Get rid of gendered bathrooms. Pissers and shitters.

Nothing like having a grown man take a piss next to my 8 year old daughter. Thanks

For all of the people that agree with this how do you feel about this student using the bathroom with your daughter in it.

I say just make a 3rd bathroom

Haha only FakeNewsCNN would report the Supreme Court declining to even hear the case the same as them “upholding a lower courts ruling”. Idiots

Did he sit or stand? Stall or urinal? I need to know if this is as stupid ad I think it is because it hits home

TuckerCarlson now has his subject matter for this week's shows......

I don’t think that declining to take a case is a victory ~ it’s a non~victory. Need better reporting.

Just get the kid some mental help and medication

If you have male genitalia you use the men's room... If you have fake genitalia you use the womans room.... Pretty simple... No matter what you 'identify' as....

Declined to hear

Democrats always say 'FOLLOW THE SCIENCE!' but can't understand that science has proven that boys have penis and girls have a vagina.

🤔🤔🤔😳🤥 Ok and?!😏 I really don’t care! 👀😎 I care about 👇 😏 every thing else no matter 😝😂😂😂😂😂

Supreme Court won't revive school's transgender bathroom banThe Supreme Court has rejected a Virginia school board’s appeal to reinstate its transgender bathroom ban. Two justices dissented, but the court decided not to hear the case. That leaves in place lower court rulings that found the policy unconstitutional. good. because people shouldn’t be discriminated against because biased politicians and judges don’t understand the science of being trans.
