The court did not rule on the merits but found that because the petitioners' children did not require any gender-affirming care, they had no standing to sue.
A federal appeals court threw out a Maryland case challenging guidelines that allow schools to create support plans for transgender or gender-nonconforming students and do not requireThe decision Monday by the majority in a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit did not address the merits of guidelines written by Montgomery County Public Schools. Instead, it said the parents in the case lacked standing. The judges sent the case back to district court to be dismissed.
The guidelines focus on gender support plans that address student names and pronouns used by transgender or gender-nonconforming students, along with athletics, extracurricular activities and use of locker rooms and restrooms. They identify safe spaces and student supports. “The case is resolved for now,” the statement said. “MCPS supports the determination by the court today.”Frederick Claybrook, attorney for the three unnamed parents who had filed suit, said in an interview they are considering next steps. Similar legal actions have been filed in other regions, he said, but the Montgomery County case is furthest along.
