A group of Wisconsin parents are appealing against a lower court decision that dismissed their lawsuit challenging a policy of the Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD) allowing children to undergo gender transition without gaining parental consent.

The policy calls on school employees to assist children of any age to adopt “gender identities” that are at odds with their biological sex. Employees do not have to seek consent from parents while transitioning the students, and are also asked to conceal such information from families unless children give consent to do so.
