NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — Gavin Grimm, the transgender man who sued after being barred from using boys bathrooms in high school, remains female today, no matter what his birth certificate or a Virginia judge might have said, a lawyer for the school board argued in federal court Tuesday.
Attorney David Corrigan declared that gender is not a "societal construct." It doesn't matter that Grimm underwent chest reconstruction surgery and hormone therapy, he said — the Gloucester County School Board still considers him a woman.
The hearing in Norfolk was the latest step in a yearslong legal battle that has come to embody the debate about transgender student rights.
Grimm's lawsuit became a federal test case and was supposed to go before the U.S. Supreme Court. But the high court hearing was canceled after President Donald Trump rescinded an Obama-era directive that students can choose bathrooms corresponding with their gender identity.
The issue remains far from settled in schools across the nation.
Joshua Block, an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union, told the judge Tuesday of the "pain and discomfort" that Grimm felt from not going to the bathroom for a long time at his high school in rural Virginia.
Block said the board's policy required Grimm to use girls restrooms or private bathrooms, which weren't always close to class. Grimm sometimes felt like his "bladder was going to burst" and eventually suffered a urinary tract infection, Block said.
Grimm was singled out and stigmatized, Block said. And despite graduating in 2017, Grimm's humiliation continues because the school board refuses to change the gender on his high school transcripts.
Grimm, now 20 and living in California, has undergone chest reconstruction surgery and hormone therapy.

Hammer that point.
Female is female. Maybe mutilated, drugged, perverted, and suffering dangerous mental issues, but still female.
This is the new Munchausen syndrome
But some science is bad, according to the party of science.
In a saner time this money would have been spent on qualified shrink to find why this sick girl thinks she is a he. But the shrinks seem to have bought into this BS too.
Leftist insanity will destroy us all If left to its own devices.
Shrinks are probably the very lunatics who got that particular insanity ball rolling.
Amazing how anti science and anti nature the left is.

Wonder if the mother told anyone when the kid was born, “It’s a girl!”
I’m betting she did.
Common sense.
Grimm was singled out and stigmatized
I really think we all need to say we are traumatized to be expected to change our identification of this person.
It seems equally valid.
Sounds like the School Board is “Questioning’...
She underwent double mastectomy, apparently, and they're calling this "chest reconstruction."
How is the intentional destruction of normal, natural, healthy organs "reconstruction"?
It's like calling gouging your eyes out "facial reconstruction."
It's like calling female genital mutilation "gender reconstruction."
Oh, wait...
Exactly. WE sane and normal people are the ones who are victims here..
[Leftist insanity will destroy us all If left to its own devices.]
Indeed. Leftist insanity will cause the collapse of the United States of America. All of Western Civilization, in fact.
Be a freak if you want, but don’t expect sane people to join in your delusion.
I'm sorry, this sick freak needs to be kept away from normal children.
