“We are pleased with the 11th Circuit Court of Appeal decision in the Drew Adams’ case. The court’s opinion was supported by sound legal reasoning and common sense,' Superintendent Tim Forson said.
The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in a 7-4 decision, said the policy did not violate the constitutional equal-protection rights of Drew Adams, who was required to use a gender-neutral, single-stall bathroom or girls’ bathrooms while a student at Nease High School.
Christiana Kiefer, a conservative activist and attorney, also applauded the ruling in a statement to News4JAX. “To start, the majority opinion simply declares — without any basis — that a person’s ‘biological sex’ is comprised solely of chromosomal structure and birth-assigned sex,” Pryor wrote. “So, the majority opinion concludes, a person’s gender identity has no bearing on this case about equal protection for a transgender boy.
Adams enrolled the St. Johns County district in fourth grade, with information listing him as a female, according to court documents. But he entered high school in August 2015 as a transgender male.
