Two days later, on May 22, the US District Court of the Eastern District of Virginia ruled in Grimm’s favor, allowing the lawsuit to go forward.
The following has been adapted from Grimm’s keynote speech at the American Humanist Association’s 2018 annual conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, delivered on May 20, 2018. Representing Grimm, the ACLU argued that the school policy forcing him to use the girls’ bathrooms was a Title IX violation, as well as a violation of the equal protection clause of the US Constitution. As a transgender high school student in Gloucester County, Virginia, Gavin Grimm sued the Gloucester Country School Board in 2015 for the right to use the boys’ bathrooms at his school.
