Transgender man Gavin Grimm’s seven-plus-year battle to be allowed to use the gender-appropriate bathroom at his high school finally ended today when the U.S.
Supreme Court left in place a lower court ruling in his favor. And the LGBTQ community, worried over how the now-conservative leaning SCOTUS would rule, has heaved a collective sigh of relief. “I am glad that my years-long fight to have my school see me for who I am is over.
Being forced to use the nurse’s room, a private bathroom and the girl’s room was humiliating for me, and having to go to out-of-the-way bathrooms severely interfered with my education,” Grimm said in a statement today (Monday, June 28).
