Transgender people are increasingly striving for their rights. In 2015, Gavin Grimm, who is now represented by the nonprofit American Civil Liberties Union, sued a school in Virginia for not being able to use restrooms designated for the gender with which he identifies. The case went through several federal courts, including the US Court of Appeals.
