Court Dismisses Trangender Plaintiff's Bathroom Complaint

A federal court in Nevada recently dismissed a Title IX case brought by the parents of a preoperative male-to-female transgender student (referred to in the decision as "Mary Doe") that challenged the school's decision that would have prohibited her from using the girls' restroom.  Apparently (the decision does not provide a detailed factual account of what happened) the plaintiffs considered enrolling their daughter at Green Valley High School near Las Vegas, Nevada, but chose not to after the principal informed them that Mary would not be allowed to use the girls' restroom. Instead, the private bathroom in the nurse's office would be available instead.
