Last week, the Supreme Court stopped a high school student named Gavin
from using the boy's restroom at school. Why? Because Gavin is
transgender.
Everything about Gavin affirms his identity as the boy he is – including his state ID. But his school board and the courts decided his mere presence in the boy's restroom could cause irreparable harm to others.
This blow to transgender students follows a slew of state bills
introduced this spring targeting transgender people. One example, a new
law in North Carolina, bans transgender people from using the right
restroom in schools and government buildings. States have vowed to return next year to pass more laws like this.
Join the call to stop the flood of fear-based legislation that is stigmatizing, harming, and isolating transgender people.
