TL;DR Summary
A transgender Mississippi girl was barred from participating in her high school graduation unless she dressed in clothes required for boys, according to a U.S. District Judge's ruling. The girl declined to participate in the ceremony. The ACLU sued the school district on behalf of the girl, saying that she was being shamed and humiliated for discriminatory reasons. Mississippi has introduced more than 30 bills this year seeking to limit the rights of LGBTQ citizens.
