Gavin Grimm sued the Gloucester County School Board after it barred him from the boys’ bathroom. But it could provide leverage for other transgender students seeking to use bathrooms that align with their gender identity. It is unclear whether the Gloucester school board will keep the bathroom restrictions on the books. Studies have shown that transgender students are at increased risk for bullying and depression. Grimm’s case was appealed to the Supreme Court by the school board, and the court was set to hear it in spring 2017.
