A Virginia school board may temporarily block a student who was born a girl from using the boys' bathroom while a legal fight over transgender rights proceeds on appeal, the U.S. Supreme Court said on Wednesday.
The case is the first time the fight over transgender bathroom rights has reached the Supreme Court, and the subject arrived in the heat of a U.S. presidential election in which the makeup of the court is a central issue.
In a brief order, the country's highest court put on hold an order from a lower court that had permitted the high school student to use the bathroom of his choice.
Last year, the American Civil Liberties Union sued on behalf of Gavin Grimm, 17, to challenge the Gloucester County School Board's bathroom policy, which requires transgender students to use alternative restroom facilities.
A lawyer for the school board declined to comment on the Supreme Court's order.
A lawyer for Grimm, Joshua Block, said he and his client were disappointed by the order and disappointed that Gavin is going to have to begin another school year being stigmatized and separated from his peers as a result of this policy.

"His" peers?
She has no peers there...
All of the fake concern about victims of sexual abuse. A woman or girl who has suffered from sex abuse should not be subjected to the fear of men who are perverts being in the ladies room. Nor should any girl or woman with even an ounce of self-respect and modesty.
Um... she is not stigmatized because of the policy. She is stigmatized because she is mentally ill. And those who humor the illness and encourage the delusions are not helping her at all.
There is no stigma in a girl using the girls' restroom. OTOH, if she were allowed to go into the boys' restroom, she would be EXTREMELY stigmatized.

The good news is most kids grow out of this: "Dr. McHugh further noted studies from Vanderbilt University and Londons Portman Clinic of children who had expressed transgender feelings but for whom, over time, 70%-80% spontaneously lost those feelings.
He was tried. The jury found him not guilty.
“...a student who was born a girl.”
Which is why she is being blocked from entering the boy’s room.
The tranny agenda is really about law fare—claiming phony victim status in order to go after the money.
But now they’re trying to claim inclusion in multiple victim groups.
She wants to be able to claim she’s not being protected from sexual assault as a girl, or from homophobes as a self-identified “male.”
She ended up hoist on her own petard.
“’His’ peers?
‘She’ has no peers there.”
Did you not see what was done there?
What YOU said.
BUMP.

Ahh, the Denver airport.
“Supreme Court grants emergency order to block mentally-ill gender-confused student in Virginia from using boys’ restroom”
There. I fixed it for you... proceed.
THAT’S SICKENING.
The republic is quite gone.

"finally, that truth is great and will prevail if left to herself, that she is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict, unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate, errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them.

Born a girl, is a girl...
Not disputing that.
Was referring to a possible, perhaps unintentional, pun.
Peers = pee-ers.
Seemed funny to me. Whatever.
LOL! I did nor see that.
