Feds: Illinois School District's Treatment of Transgender Girl Broke Title IX 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In a victory for transgender rights, federal officials have determined
an Illinois school district violated the anti-discrimination law Title
IX by preventing a transgender girl from showering and changing without
restrictions in the girls' locker room. The student was forced to use
private facilities instead. The Palatine, Illinois, school district
could lose Title IX funding if it doesn't change its policies.
