Look At How This University Responded After Winning Case Against Transgender Student It Expelled
A federal judge in western Pennsylvania ruled Tuesday against a transgender student who had sued the University of Pittsburgh for discrimination.
According to a decision from District Judge Kim Gibson, a George W. Bush appointee, Seamus Johnston had no claim of discrimination against Pitt for not allowing him to use the men’s locker rooms and bathrooms and eventually expelling him for doing so. “The simple answer is no,” Gibson wrote, alleging that Johnston had not transitioned enough (i.e. undergone sex reassignment surgery) and that there are no protections based on gender identity to be found under Title IX or the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
