Idaho Can Restrict Transgender Students’ Restroom Use, Appeals Court Rules
- The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Idaho can ban transgender students from using bathrooms that match their gender identity, prioritizing privacy concerns of cisgender students over transgender rights.
- The ruling claims a compelling interest to protect cisgender students, asserting that excluding transgender students from bathrooms is justified to avoid potential embarrassment.
- Despite acknowledging discrimination against transgender students, the court determined that the state's interest in privacy and safety overrides their equal protection rights.
- The ruling could set a dangerous legal precedent that allows further restrictions on transgender rights, undermining protections under Title IX.
