美国最高法院裁决,暂缓执行要求维吉尼亚州一个校区为跨性别学生使用男生厕所提供方便的史无前例的法院裁决。这个裁决是应一名跨性别高中生的要求作出的。

根据最高法院的这个决定,维州格劳切斯特郡学校董事会有权禁止跨性别高中生加文·格里姆使用男生厕所,等待最高法院大法官们决定是否有必要对上诉法院的裁决进行审查。

大法官们的表决结果是5比3。民主党任命的大法官布雷耶和四位由共和党任命的大法官持相同立场。反对叫停决定的三名民主党任命的大法官是金斯伯格、索托马约尔和卡根。

去年,美国公民自由联盟代表17岁的格里姆提出诉讼,挑战学校董事会的厕所使用规定。根据现有规定,跨性别学生只能使用区别于男女厕所以外的替代厕所。

格里姆出生时是女性,但自我认定是男性。她做过荷尔蒙理疗,并且把自己的法定名字改为男孩的名字。

The U.S. Supreme Court has put on hold a groundbreaking court ruling that required a Virginia school district to accommodate a transgender high school student's request to use the boys' bathroom.

The high court agreed Wednesday to allow the Gloucester County School Board to bar Gavin Grimm from using the bathroom that matches his gender identity, until the justices decide whether to review an appeals court ruling in his case.

The justices split, 5-3, on the issue, with Democratic-appointed Justice Stephen Breyer agreeing with the four Republican appointees. Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan opposed the stay.

Last year, the American Civil Liberties Union sued on behalf of the 17-year-old Grimm to challenge the school board's bathroom policy, which requires transgender students to use alternative restroom facilities.

Grimm, who was born female but identifies as male, has undergone hormone therapy and has legally changed his name.
