Minnesota transgender student wins settlement from school district in restroom access case
The plaintiff was a sixth-grader at Buffalo Community Middle School in September 2015 when he transitioned socially, and wanted to use the boys' toilets and locker rooms. Instead he was limited to a single-occupancy facility that no other student was required to use, according to a lawsuit filed against the district in 2019. The school held firm to its position on restroom access despite requests from health care providers and the state Department of Education that Woods be allowed to use the boys' facilities.
