ACLU sues Missouri school district for not letting transgender student use the girls' restroom

Dustan Farr said the Platte County School District’s policy to ban transgender students from using the restroom that aligns with their gender identity has "crushed" his daughter's education.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Missouri is suing the Platte County School District and its school board for refusing to allow a transgender student to use the restroom that aligns with her gender identity.

The lawsuit states a 16-year-old transgender student, identified as R.F., faced detention on two separate occasions at Platte County High School for using the girls’ restroom.

The school district’s policy forbids transgender students from using the restroom or locker room that aligns with their gender identity, the lawsuit states, regardless of any gender transition or treatment a student may have undergone.
