Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird has filed a motion to join a lawsuit, challenging a transgender parent’s attempt to use the men’s room at Liberty High School.

The parent, who identified as a man, was denied access to a boy’s restroom and sued Liberty high and the Iowa City School District.

Iowa law requires that people use the restrooms aligned with their biological sex.

In a release from the AG’s office, Bird said, “Boys’ restrooms are for boys and girls’ restrooms are for girls. It’s not only common sense—it’s the law. And Iowa law is as clear as day: people must use the restrooms aligned with their biological sex. I’m fighting to make sure parents don’t have to worry about grown adults using the wrong restrooms in their children’s schools.”
