After a setback this week from the Supreme Court to send the case back to the lower court, the decision that will be made has become larger than Grimm's legal use of public bathrooms--the court will also be deciding whether or not Title IX, which prohibits against sex discrimination, will include gender identity.
"The court's decision in Gavin's case will impact how the law treats trans people all over the country, when opponents of transgender equality are arguing that we shouldn't be treated fairly," says Alexandra Billings in the PSA.

Featuring most of the cast of Transparent--Jeffrey Tambor, Judith Light, Jay Duplass, Gaby Hoffmann, Trace Lysette, Alexandra Billings and creator Jill Soloway--the video shows them outlining Grimm's story and explaining the significance of the case.
"When trans people like me are turned away from using restrooms that match our true gender, we can't go to work, go shopping or go to school," Alexandra Grey says. "We can't be a part of society." Watch Transparent's PSA, below.
