The Supreme Court declined to block a lower court ruling that allows a transgender student to use the bathroom matching his gender identity, rejecting South Carolina's emergency appeal.

A parent has filed a lawsuit against an Oklahoma school district for not enforcing a state law that restricts restroom use for transgender people after her 15-year-old daughter was "severely beaten" by a 17-year-old transgender student in a school bathroom. The accused attacker was assigned male at birth and was using the women's bathroom despite a state law that requires public school students to use restrooms matching the sex on their birth certificates. The plaintiff alleges that the school allowed the trans student to continue using the women's bathroom even after her daughter reported their gender identity to the assistant principal. The plaintiff is seeking a jury trial.
