Trump-appointed judge rejects requirement of transgender students to wear heels and dress until graduation
A Trump-appointed judge barred a biological male high school student who identifies as a girl from wearing heels and a dress until graduation on Friday.
U.S. District Judge Taylor McNeel of the Southern District of Mississippi ruled against granting an injunction to prevent enforcement of a dress code restriction on a transgender student named “LB,” who wanted to wear heels and a dress.
McNeel advocated that the district should enforce its dress code, interpreting it as the status quo. He also argued that there was no significant precedent regarding transgender cases and dress codes, according to WLOX.
The district would have barred LB, 17, from completing the degree if the student showed up in the outfit, which it says violated its dress code, plaintiff attorneys from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) said in court filings.

The ACLU argued that the district’s decision violated Title IX and the right to free speech in the First Amendment. They added that LB County’s decision would do “significant damage.”
“LB wants to wear a dress and heels to her graduation that match the gender she lives every day. Yet just days before graduation, the defendants made the sudden decision to force LB to dress according to the male gender she aspires to.” was assigned at birth at the ceremony — despite the fact that LB entered HCHS as a girl and everyone aspect of her high school career as a girl,” the ACLU said.

“Defendants have promised to bar LB from graduation if she wears a gown and heels under her graduation gown. Due to defendants’ gender restrictions, LB will be forced to miss her own high school diploma – a once in a lifetime experience. “A once-in-a-lifetime event that she and her parents can never replace,” the ACLU continued.

The graduation ceremony took place on Saturday and Reuters reported that LB was not present.
“Our client is being shamed and humiliated on explicitly discriminatory grounds, and her family is being denied a once-in-a-lifetime milestone in their daughter’s life,” Linda Morris, an attorney with the ACLU Women’s Rights Project, told Reuters.
