Washington – South Carolina officials told the Supreme Court to allow the state to fully implement a measure, which complies with some education funding a rule on school districts, which prevents transgender students from using toilets with their gender identity.
The state request for emergency relief from the High Court stems from a federal appeal court, in which South Carolina officials were stopped from implementing their toilet policy against a transgender high school student, which was identified in court papers as John Doe.
The General Assembly of South Carolina included a ban in the bill for the financial year 2024 to 2025. This provision, which ended in the end of June, appointed 25% of the state funds on compliance with the school districts on their compliance that the public school toilet nominated for a sex is used only by members of that sex.
State MPs included the ban in their latest expenses measures for the new financial year, and it came into effect on 1 July.
DOE, a transgender student enrolled in a public school in Berkeley County, South Carolina, and his parents filed a lawsuit in the last November alleging that the so-called toilet-related provision of the law violates the security section and title IX similar to the constitution.
Under the definitions of the provision, DOE, who identified as men, was classified as a “woman” and therefore, according to court filing, could not use boys’ toilets in school.

State officials wrote in their emergency appeal, “This Proviso reflects the desire of the South Carolina Mahasabha, and therefore the will of the people of South Carolina, due to unanimous approval in both the legislature’s chambers,” state officials have written in their emergency appeal. “After all, this policy option is the one in which the court should avoid the appropriate legislative body.”
