A federal appeals court has refused to reconsider the decision made by a three-judge panel in Virginia on a case regarding whether transgender students can be allowed to use the restroom of the gender they identify with. Last month, the panel stated that a transgender male student was discriminated against by not being allowed to use the boy's restroom. The case — now expected to head to the U.S. Supreme Court — has implications for pending lawsuits between North Carolina and the U.S. Department of Justice regarding House Bill 2.
