Winning. Not in Florida. Federal appeals court backs Florida school district that blocked transgender student from using boys bathroom

Federal appeals court backs Florida school district that blocked transgender student from using boys bathroom. Yes the appeals court ruled in favor of normalcy.

The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals announced its 7-4 decision on Friday, ruling that the St. Johns County School Board did not discriminate against transgender students based on sex, or violate federal civil rights law by requiring transgender students to use gender-neutral bathrooms or bathrooms matching their biological sex.

Judge Barbara Lagoa wrote in the majority opinion that the school board policy advances the important governmental objective of protecting students’ privacy in school bathrooms. She said the district’s policy does not violate the law because it’s based on biological sex, not gender identity.
