Judge says school can force trans girl to dress like boy at graduation

A judge in Mississippi has denied a request to allow a transgender female student to wear a dress at her school's graduation ceremony, reports say.

The ACLU of Mississippi said on Twitter that the ruling, which came down late Friday, means L.B., the trans student, can be banned from graduation unless she wears boys clothing, which includes socks, dress shoes, pants, a button-down shirt, and a tie. "Our client should be focused on celebrating this life milestone alongside her friends and loved ones," the ACLU tweeted."Instead, this ruling casts shame and humiliation on a day that should be focused on joy and pride."
