A transgender student was punished for using the girl's bathroom. The trans received a verbal warning, detentions, suspension, and faced threats of rape. Lawsuit filed for violation of rights.
The student known as RF said that the assistant principal asked to either use the restroom matching the gender assigned to at birth or a single-stall gender-neutral restroom at the school.RF did not like to use the single-stall gender-neutral restroom because “there was often a line as it was used by all students and risk missing or being late to class.”
The trans claimed to have received a verbal warning and two detentions for using the girl’s bathroom. Then was punished with a suspension. Back from suspension and asked to use a male bathroom as per the school’s orders, the trans was threatened with rape by a male student. The lawsuit states that the school violated the Missouri Human Rights Act and the Equal Protection Clause of the Missouri Constitution. The school’s action also violates the Title IX guidelines issued by Joe Biden’s administration which states that federally funded schools should not discriminate against trans students on the basis os sex and gender.
