An Idaho state Senate bill, which entails that students in public schools utilize the bathroom or locker room aligning with their biological sex, is pending review by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, according to a recent court filing. The progression to the federal appeals court follows after U.S. District Chief Judge David C. Nye of the District of Idaho dismissed the plaintiffs’ appeal for a preliminary injunction last week.
The judge opined that the plaintiffs did not successfully demonstrate a protectable liberty interest in withholding their gender identity. Further detailed coverage on the matter is available from a related legal news report.
