Doe v. Clenchy was a case decided by the Maine Supreme Judicial Court in June 2013. In that case, transgender teenager Nicole Maines won the right to use the female bathroom in her high school.[1] Upon initial filing, Maines was referenced by the pseudonym "Susan Doe" in court papers to protect her identity. This case marked the first time that a state court ruled denying a transgender student access to the bathroom consistent with their gender identity is unlawful.[2]
