Silicon Valley is drawing a line in the sand on transgender rights. Several big tech companies are joining a legal brief supporting transgender rights ahead of a Supreme Court case on the issue next month. The case may decide whether schools can prevent transgender students from using bathrooms that correspond with their gender identity. The legal move comes just days after the Trump administration withdrew Obama-era protections for transgender students in public schools. Tech companies continue to face pressure from progressive employees and customers to push back against Trump's most controversial policies.
