Description
Transgender male high school student at the centre of the controversy over bathroom segregation in the southern states. The school allowed him to use the boy's washroom until a community member filed a complaint. The case drew national attention. Grimm subsequently filed a lawsuit which he won in 2019. A federal court in mid-2018 rejected the school board's attempt to dismiss the case, and ordered it to arrange a settlement conference.
