He's been fighting this case for almost a decade now, but he won. Judge Anthony Gabbert said that the school district's reasoning for excluding RMA, which was that he had female genetalia, was not a valid reason. Judge Gabbert said that the district "did not actually determine the nature of RMA’s genitalia."
Well I think it s way too much , but I m not american and don’t have a trial mentality.
5M for that ?-? Like I agree that they are asshole to not let him use it but man thats a lot of money.
IKR you think the district would take the stick out of their ass and let the man use the damn men’s restroom and locker room! You can be a bigot for much less than that.
The US has largly privatized regulation. Where most countries would have a government agency enforce the law, the US tends to give individuals the right to sue to do so. This means that the rewards need to be high enough to both incentize lawsuits, and make up for the cases that don’t get brought.
In this case, according to the appalet court [0], the compensatory damages were only $175k. The rest of the judgment cane from $4m in punitive damages, and about $560 in attorney’s fees.
5m for a restroom isnt that a little bit too much?

No, its not too much. If the taxpayers think it’s too much, they should not discriminated against in people the future.
