The Supreme Court vacated and remanded the case of Gavin Grimm, a transgender student in Virginia who sought to use the same bathrooms as other male students use at his school. The remand, which came just three weeks before the case was scheduled to be argued, followed the Trump administration’s withdrawal of Department of Education guidelines defining discrimination based on gender identity as “sex discrimination” under Title IX and requiring schools to allow transgender students to use the bathrooms corresponding to their gender identity. Mark Joseph Stern, Writer, Slate, Kylar Broadus, senior counsel, Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund, Katie Eyer, associate professor of law, Rutgers Law School, David McDonald, legal associate, Cato Institute, and John Paul Schnapper-Casters, special counsel for appellate and Supreme Court Advocacy, NAACP Legal Educational Fund had a discussion about these ongoing trans issues.
