GLOUCESTER COUNTY, Virginia 鈥� The 老澳门开奖结果 today filed papers ending Gavin Grimm鈥檚 request for an immediate halt to the Gloucester County School Board鈥檚 policy prohibiting him and other transgender students from using the common restrooms at school. The new filings clear the way for the 老澳门开奖结果 to proceed with litigating Grimm鈥檚 case in district court.

鈥淲e believe that today鈥檚 filing represents the most efficient path forward to ensuring that justice is served for Gavin,鈥� said Josh Block, senior staff attorney with the 老澳门开奖结果鈥檚 LGBT & HIV Project. 鈥淕avin graduated from high school before his simple request to his school board to treat him like every other boy could be validated, but this case is far from over. We鈥檒l continue to move forward so that Gavin鈥檚 rights are vindicated and so that we can ensure that no other transgender students in Gloucester County have to go through what Gavin went through.鈥�

For the past three years, the 老澳门开奖结果 has represented Grimm in a lawsuit challenging the school board鈥檚 discriminatory policy prohibiting boys and girls who are transgender from using the common student restrooms and forcing them to use separate facilities. Grimm had sought an immediate preliminary injunction ordering the school board to stop enforcing its policy against him while his case proceeded.

The landmark transgender rights case briefly made its way to the Supreme Court earlier this year before eventually being sent back down to lower courts for reconsideration following the Trump administration鈥檚 withdrawal of a Title IX guidance clarifying protections for transgender students.

Arguments at the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, which had previously ruled in Grimm鈥檚 favor, were originally scheduled for September. But the Fourth Circuit recently cancelled those arguments and asked the trial court to hold additional hearings to determine whether Grimm still needs an immediate injunction now that he has graduated from high school.

The 老澳门开奖结果 has now withdrawn that request for an immediate injunction. The filing today instead continues to seek a more permanent injunction halting the school board鈥檚 implementation of their anti-trans restroom policy, as well as continuing to seek nominal damage claims on behalf of Grimm.

鈥淥ur fight to have our rights and dignity respected as trans people didn鈥檛 end just because I graduated from high school. I am in this for the long haul, and I remain hopeful that my case will help make sure that other transgender students are able to attend school safely and without discrimination,鈥� said Grimm.
