Transgender people in North Carolina can use any public restroom in state-run buildings that conforms with their gender identity, reports Reuters.

The news follows a new court ruling that ends the fight by transgender people in North Carolina who were seeking the right to use the bathroom that matches their gender identity.

The old law in 2016 required transgender people in a state-run building to use the bathrooms, change rooms, and showers that corresponded to the sex on their birth certificate.
