A 2023 Idaho bathroom bill is now permanently in effect statewide following the dismissal of a lawsuit challenging the anti-trans legislation.
Attorneys for the Sexuality and Gender Alliance, a student group at Boise High School, and the state agreed to dismiss the lawsuit in federal court on Wednesday following the death of one plaintiff and the high-school graduation of another, per Idaho Education News.
The late plaintiff, as Idaho Education News noted, was a trans student who died by suicide in January, identified only in court filings as Jane Doe. Lawsuits against the bathroom ban were currently pending in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and the U.S. District Court of Idaho.
Now in effect as of May 2025, the law bans students from using bathrooms and locker rooms that match their gender assigned at birth and also permits students to sue schools if they encounter a trans person in a public restroom or changing facility for a minimum fine of $5,000, per Boise State Public Radio.

Isn’t it sex assigned at birth?
I don’t do “sex assigned at birth.” Nothing is assigned.
I think the statement is backwards
“ the law bans students from using bathrooms and locker rooms that match their gender assigned at birth”
There’s a missing negative.
But it’s not a mental illness. 🤡
Sounds like the dude was suing the wrong entity.
“Gender assigned at birth” makes it sound like doctors randomly assign it somehow, like they pick genders out of a hat or something.
No, sex is not “assigned” at birth. It’s acknowledged.
> I don’t do “sex assigned at birth.” Nothing is assigned. <
Agreed. I see a lot of that “sex assigned at birth” nonsense in woke biographies. It makes it sound like the whole thing is arbitrary, like “I assigned Jim and Fred to paint the hallway.”
Sex is not assigned. It’s determined.
At conception..which sperm cell sex (X or Y) fertilizes egg.
Yeh...it’s messed up...
These sick creeps are trying to infer the bill caused the suicide.
I can’t make heads or tails of the bathroom bill. Does it restrict bathrooms to genetic sex (male or female), or does it protect someone “trans” from using the bathroom of their choosing?
One less weirdo.
It’s on the birth certificate so technically it is assigned. Someone looks and says “Yep, male”.
No such thing as assigned, sex is biologically determined at the time of conception.
The main argument for the sex change procedures is preventing suicide.
It has not worked this time, obviously1
Keeping trans out of “birth bathrooms”…….isn’t anti-trans. We normals have to continue beating this into their skulls, without beating their skulls.
Exactly.....
the law bans students from using bathrooms and locker rooms that match their gender assigned at birth ?...............
