"Supreme Court Rejects Indiana School's Transgender Bathroom Appeal"
The Supreme Court declined to hear a case regarding whether public school districts can require transgender students to use bathrooms aligning with their sex assigned at birth, rather than their gender identity, allowing a Seventh Circuit ruling in favor of trans students to stand. This decision marks the third time in a year that the Court has avoided major LGBTQ rights disputes, despite meeting the usual criteria for case consideration. The Court's reluctance to address transgender rights cases suggests a cautious approach, leaving unresolved questions about the legal distinction between gender and biological sex.
