Gavin Grimm
Gavin Grimm is a rising activist for transgender youth. While attending his own senior High school year in Gloucester, Virginia, members on the school board denied him access to use the boy’s restroom, violating his rights as stated in Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Gavin then filed a federal law suit against the board, but due to President Trump’s administration revoking school regulations that would provide protection for transgender students against discrimination, his case was sent back to the court of appeals. Grimm graduated high school in 2017, never having the ability to use the same restroom as his fellow male students during his attendance. As of 2019, Gavin’s amended complaint against the board was ruled in his favor, stating the school violated his rights under Title IX and the 14th Amendment. Some individuals are less fortunate than others. A Transgender man name Brandon Teena, was raped and murdered in 1993. The movie "Boys Don't Cry", released in October 1999, was a film based on the true story of his life.
