“This reported incident is disturbing and shocking, particularly in light of U.C. San Diego’s clear nondiscrimination policy,” Transgender Law Center Legal Director Ilona Turner stated in an email to LGBT Weekly. “In addition, both state law and Title IX prohibit discrimination against transgender or gender nonconforming students and require that transgender students be permitted to use school facilities consistent with their gender identity. The school would be well advised to take that obligation seriously and institute better training for its staff, for starters, or it could face serious legal liability.
