美最高法院叫停跨性別學生選擇廁所使用權大綱

The U.S. Supreme Court has put on hold a groundbreaking court ruling that required a Virginia school district to accommodate a transgender high school student’s request to use the boys’ bathroom.

美國最高法院裁決，暫緩執行要求維吉尼亞州一個校區爲跨性別學生使用男生廁所提供方便的史無前例的法院裁決。這個裁決是應一名跨性別高中生的要求作出的。

The high court agreed Wednesday to allow the Gloucester County School Board to bar Gavin Grimm from using the bathroom that matches his gender identity, until the justices decide whether to review an appeals court ruling in his case.

根據最高法院的這個決定，維州格勞切斯特郡學校董事會有權禁止跨性別高中生加文·格里姆使用男生廁所，等待最高法院大法官們決定是否有必要對上訴法院的裁決進行審查。

The justices split, 5-3, on the issue, with Democratic-appointed Justice Stephen Breyer agreeing with the four Republican appointees. Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan opposed the stay.

大法官們的表決結果是5比3。民主黨任命的大法官佈雷耶和四位由共和黨任命的大法官持相同立場。反對叫停決定的三名民主黨任命的大法官是金斯伯格、索托馬約爾和卡根。

Last year, the American Civil Liberties Union sued on behalf of the 17-year-old Grimm to challenge the school board's bathroom policy, which requires transgender students to use alternative restroom facilities.

去年，美國公民自由聯盟代表17歲的格里姆提出訴訟，挑戰學校董事會的廁所使用規定。根據現有規定，跨性別學生只能使用區別於男女廁所以外的替代廁所。

Grimm, who was born female but identifies as male, has undergone hormone therapy and has legally changed his name.

格里姆出生時是女性，但自我認定是男性。她做過荷爾蒙理療，並且把自己的法定名字改爲男孩的名字。
