The Supreme Court refused South Carolina's request to prevent a transgender boy from using the boys' restrooms at school. The court emphasized this wasn't a ruling on the merits of the case, only on the student's interim access. Three conservative justices dissented. The state's actions, restricting transgender bathroom access through budget restrictions, are challenged as violating the Equal Protection Clause and Title IX. A lower court had previously denied the student's request, but a federal appeals court reversed this, leading to the Supreme Court appeal.
