A federal judge in Virginia has ruled that a high school discriminates against a trans student named Gavin Grimm by denying him access to the restroom that corresponds to his gender identity. Grimm says the ruling was "really fantastic," not just for him, but for trans youth in general.
"The court case moved on ... from being about my interests almost as soon as it started," he told NPR's Ari Shapiro on Wednesday. "This case has implications for other trans students across this nation, and that is what I'm focused on. ... I hope that this will set a positive legal precedent that will aid other trans students in guiding their schools to better support them."
As a sophomore in high school, with his school administrators' permission, Grimm had used the boys' bathroom for seven weeks without incident before parents heard about it. The Gloucester County School Board intervened and mandated that all students use facilities matching their "biological genders," with a single-stall unisex restroom available for Grimm.

Sad confused little girl.
So liberal judges want to allow very sick perverted individuals to continue their charade? Clearly they are mentally defective, why are the courts forcing the illness into mainstream society?
I just...well...never mind. It's not worth going own that rabbit hole.
The whole world is bat-shit crazy.
Id fix it somehow that if she uses the Boys Room, she has go use a urinal to go pee.
So the girl want's to pee standing up. Since when are bathrooms sexual? I wonder about those taking notice.
We used to push these kids into the locker well before their mental defect ever got to this point in life. Now Big Pharma makes money off of these idiots and encourage stupid behaviors.
Old school worked just fine. Boys probably don’t care if girls come into their bathrooms. Girls need to kick the boys in the balls if they come into their bathrooms. Incident solved.
It's all about causing trouble and making everyone in the bathroom uncomfortable. The Obama judge is a bit.
Morals. Why is it we are losing them? What gives these freaks the right to force their life style on the rest of us? It's abnormal and you know it.
