School officials told the 17-year-old transgender girl that she had to follow the high school’s dress code for male student graduates.

GULFPORT, Miss. - A federal judge upheld a decision by Mississippi school officials that a transgender girl would have to dress like a boy if she attended her high school graduation.

McNeel said in this case, he interpreted the status quo as the school district’s decision to follow the district’s dress code policy. In making the ruling, McNeel said cases involving dress codes and transgender individuals are limited and similar cases didn’t exist. She and her mother said they signed a commencement participation agreement in March that outlined the graduation dress code policy. After signing the agreement, L.B. said she purchased the outfit she intended to wear to graduation.
