RICHMOND, Va. – Lawyers for transgender teen Gavin Grimm have set aside part of his case against the Gloucester County Public Schools . After spending years fighting all the way to the Supreme Court, Grimm’s lawyers filed to drop the appeal seeking an immediate end to the district's bathroom policy . This comes after judges with the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond ruled that the 18-year-old may not be able to pursue the case anymore since he graduated high school in June. The ACLU said Grimm's decision now clears the way for them to litigate his case based on Title IX discrimination . Grimm was born a female, but has identified as male since his freshman year in high school. According to court documents, Grimm used the boys’ restrooms at the school for approximately seven weeks without incident. However, after some adults in the community complained, the Gloucester County School Board overruled its administrators and enacted a new policy prohibiting boys and g...

PIERRE | The lone South Dakota Democrat running for governor said Friday that measures restricting which facilities transgender students can use at school amount to "a solution in search of a problem." Sen. Billie Sutton opposed a so- called bathroom bill when it was proposed during the 2016 legislative session. He said in a statement to The Associated Press that local schools have been handling the issue in the best way for their students, a view shared by term- limited Republican Gov . Dennis Daugaard but one that diverges from the top two Republicans vying to replace him. Sutton pointed to the "catastrophic" economic consequences of passing such a measure. A similar law in North Carolina sparked national uproar and costly boycotts before lawmakers rolled much of it back. " South Dakota prides itself on common sense, and laws like this are a solution in search of a problem," the Burke legislator said in the statement. A key conservative group , Fam...

Larry covered the initial marching orders as they were handed down from the White House this week. With no consultation from either the legislative or judicial branches, Barack Obama told all of the schools in America that they needed to ignore established genetic science and age old standards of privacy to allow students to pick their own gender and use whichever bathrooms, locker rooms and showers they feel best suit them. Failing to do so would be met with cutting off their federal education funding regardless of need or scholastic performance. Needless to say, plenty of school districts were less than thrilled. One school system in Texas immediately informed the White House that the mandate was heading directly into the trash. “I got news for President Barack Obama ,” Port Neches-Groves (Texas) Superintendent Rodney Cavness told 12News . “He ain’t my President and he can’t tell me what to do. That letter is going straight to the paper shredder . I have 5 daughters myself and I...

Gender Neutral Restroom Sign, Baby Wale Restaurant DC Flikr. This story was reported by the  American Media Institute . Goodbye to the urinal? In many places, a gender-neutral revolution in bathroom design is afoot. Born in the offices of architects, the design upheaval is quieter than the noisy public debate over gender bathroom equality , but designers are clearly bending to political winds and client demand. Public space is being changed for generations to come. New designs without gender labels are already showing up around the country. The Fourth, a restaurant in New York City’s East Village, has only a single restroom , featuring three private, floor-to-ceiling stalls labeled “unisex,” three labeled “women” and one for the handicapped. All are accessed through a common door. The Fourth has no dedicated men’s room. Other private buildings in New York that feature all- gender restrooms include the Whitney Museum , relocated to a new Renzo Piano-designed structure last year in ...
