WASHINGTON 鈥� The Supreme Court announced today that it is sending a landmark transgender rights case back to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals to be reconsidered in light of the Departments of Justice and Education rescinding of a Title IX guidance clarifying protections for transgender students. Grimm and his legal team will hold a media teleconference at 2 p.m. today to discuss the developments.

The action in the case of high school student Gavin Grimm means that the Supreme Court will not hear arguments on March 28 as originally scheduled. The case is Gloucester County School Board v. G.G.

The Fourth Circuit originally ruled in favor of Grimm in his case challenging the Gloucester County School Board鈥檚 decision to force him to use a separate, single-stall restroom that no other student is required to use.

Joshua Block, senior staff attorney at the 老澳门开奖结果鈥檚 LGBT Project and lead counsel for Grimm, had the following reaction:

鈥淣othing about today鈥檚 action changes the meaning of the law. Title IX and the Constitution protect Gavin and other transgender students from discrimination. While we鈥檙e disappointed that the Supreme Court will not be hearing Gavin鈥檚 case this term, the overwhelming level of support shown for Gavin and trans students by people across the country throughout this process shows that the American people have already moved in the right direction and that the rights of trans people cannot be ignored. This is a detour, not the end of the road, and we鈥檒l continue to fight for Gavin and other transgender people to ensure that they are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve.鈥�
