transgender student to use the girls' bathroom.On Thursday, Judge Lynn Adelman in the Eastern District of Wisconsin issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) blocking the Mukwonago Area School District from "enforcing against plaintiff any policy, practice, or custom that denies plaintiff access to girls' restrooms at school and school-sponsored events; and taking any formal or informal disciplinary action against plaintiff for using girls' restrooms at school and school-sponsored events," local news station WTMJ-TV reported.In a statement, a member of the student's legal team told Newsweek on Friday that "we are very pleased that the court recognized so clearly that out client's right were being violated and that immediate action was needed to protect her.
We hope this gives her a chance to enjoy the rest of her summer program and look forward to defending this victory as the litigation continues."According to the TRO reviewed by Newsweek, the student, who was not identified by name, is an 11-year-old transgender girl that was designated as a male at birth.
