In 2021 the Supreme Court let stand the absurd ruling Grimm v. Gloucester County School Board (Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals) which confirmed a biological girl’s right to use the boys’ restroom at school. https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/ca4/19-1952/19-1952-2020-08-26.html
Now, despite sanity from the Trump admin on the “gender”
issue, school systems around the country can point to this and similar lower
court rulings to continue to violate single-sex spaces.

The Wake County, NC school system just confirmed this problem:
“Wake's [new policies] still protect students from discrimination based on
their gender identity, something the school board moved to do in 2021 in response
to other federal court decisions. Attorneys also continue to advise the school
board that a federal court case, Grimm v. Gloucester County School Board,
requires schools to allow transgender students to use the restroom that
conforms with their gender identity.” https://www.wral.com/news/education/wake-schools-moves-forward-with-title-ix-revisions-biden-era-rules-april-2025/
