Gavin Grimm is a student and activist who successfully sued his school district in Federal court after the Gloucester County School Board voted to adopt a discriminatory policy that would have segregated transgender students from their classmates. 

After coming out as transgender during his sophomore year at Gloucester High School, and with his principal's permission, Gavin used the boys' restrooms at school for almost two months without any problems, until a handful of parents went to the school board to complain about him. The school board voted to ban Gavin from using the boys' restrooms at school. With the help of the American Civil Liberties Union, he sued his school.
