Washington: The US Supreme Court has said that it will decide which bathrooms should be used by transgender people, a highly sensitive question with national political resonance.


The case involves 17-year-old Gavin Grimm, who was born a female but identifies as a male. Grimm filed suit to be allowed to use the boys' bathroom at his high school in Gloucester County, Virginia.



Arguments in the politically charged question will be heard between now and late June, making it easily one of the highest-profile cases set for the court's current term.
