A transgender former student sued a Missouri school district on Monday after the former student says they were forced to use the boys' bathrooms or the high school's only single-stall bathroom.
The former student received detention twice for using the girls' restroom, according to the lawsuit. She said a male classmate harassed her and threatened her with rape when she used the boys' bathroom. "Forcing transgender students to use the bathroom or locker room that matches their sex designated at birth is not only discrimination but dangerous and causes serious harm to Missouri's youth," said Gillian Wilcox, deputy director of litigation at the ACLU of Missouri, in a statement.
