A trans student in Maine has won the right to use the girls' restroom--again.
The parents of the student, who was born physiologically male but identifies as female, had won an earlier complaint against the school district when the child was a fifth grader and denied use of the girls' room. Now the student's family has won a second case brought against the school district for having denied her use of the girls' restroom when she was in the sixth grade in 2008-2009, reported local newspaper the Bangor Daily News.
