The U.S. Department of Education has told a California school district that it
cannot bar a transgender boy who was assigned the female sex at birth from using male restrooms, as doing so violates federal laws against sex discrimination. Arcadia Unified School District has agreed to make systemwide changes to accommodate transgender students in exchange for the DOE ending its investigation into the matter. The development adds to a growing legal precedence that says laws banning discrimination based on sex can be applied in cases involving gender identity and transgender status.
