T.F. and B.F. v. Kettle Moraine School District
Trial court held that district’s policy of permitting and affirming student requests to transition to a different gender identity at school, without parental consent, violates parents’ fundamental due process right to make healthcare decisions for their children. Court relied on expert testimony that living a “double life” with different gender identities at home and at school is “'inherently psychologically unhealthy’” for children.
