Transgender student denied dress at graduation, court rules in favor of school district policy.

TL;DR Summary
A transgender student in Mississippi, identified as "L.B.", was denied a request to wear a dress and high heels to her high school graduation ceremony due to the school's dress code policy requiring male students to wear a button-down white shirt, tie, black pants, and black shoes. The student's request for a temporary relief order was denied by a U.S. District Court Judge, who ruled that the school district's dress code policy was the status quo and that the plaintiff's case did not meet the standard for "extraordinary relief in changing the status quo in a short time period."
