A federal appeals court in Florida has ruled in favor of a local school district, upholding its policy of preventing transgender students from using bathrooms of their choice.

The Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals announced its 7–4 decision (pdf) on Dec. 30, saying that the St. Johns County School Board did not violate the U.S. Constitution or Title IX, when barring transgender student Drew Adams from using boys’ bathrooms.
