The Supreme Court on Tuesday passed up a chance to intervene in the debate over bathrooms for transgender students, rejecting an appeal from an Indiana public school district.

Federal appeals courts are divided over whether school policies enforcing restrictions on which bathrooms transgender students can use violate federal law or the Constitution.

In the case the court rejected without comment, the Chicago-based 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld an order granting transgender boys access to the boys’ bathroom. The appeal came from the Metropolitan School District of Martinsville, about 30 miles (48 kilometers) southwest of Indianapolis.

    I’m really sorry you’re going through that. It sucks, and I can only hope that as the future inevitably progresses, things improve.

    My son is trans (FtM). We’re lucky to live in a sane state that doesn’t have this bathroom bill garbage. But my heart goes out to those that do.
