Judge allows student to wear any clothing at South Junior High
A 15-year-old boy identified as Pat Doe can return to South Junior High in Brockton and wear any clothing or accessories allowed to other students after a judge ruled that banning female dress was discriminatory. The school had suspended him for using the girls’ restroom and cited gender identity issues diagnosed in 1999 by a therapist, who warned of potential harm from enforcing boys’ clothing. The judge called the policy stifling selfhood and stressed early exposure to differences to foster tolerance.
