The US Supreme Court has SLOTXO declined to take up a school's appeal in a transgender student bathroom case, handing a win to LGBT rights activists.
The justices let stand a lower court ruling that a Virginia school had been discriminatory by barring a transgender student from the men's bathroom.
The decision marks the end of a six-year legal battle launched by the student, Gavin Grimm.
It comes amid efforts in some states to limit transgender student rights.
Monday's order does not set national precedent on whether schools must allow transgender students to use the bathroom that fits their identity.
The court did not offer any comment on the refusal of the school appeal, as is typical for such orders.
Two of the nine justices, conservatives Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, said they would have heard the school's appeal.
Mr Grimm celebrated Monday's order on Twitter, saying he was "honoured" to have been a part of this victory for transgender rights.
"I was barred from the bathroom at my high-school seven years ago, when I was 16. Six years ago, at 16, myself with the ACLU [American Civil Liberties Union] filed suit in response to that discrimination," he wrote. "Now it's over. We won."
Mr Grimm first challenged the school board's policy in 2015 while a student at Gloucester High School in eastern Virginia.
The school had initially allowed him to use the men's bathroom after Mr Grimm explained he had transitioned to male. But he was later barred from using it after complaints from several adults.
