Advocate: Transgender Student Sues University of Arkansas

[Patricia M. McBride]

And although our fine city council has not yet considered the fall out from the bill they are looking at right now, we too will be involved in questions like this quite soon if the bill they have currently is the one that is passed along with many other unintended consequences that will be VERY expensive for the taxpayers.  Think how all the ladies will feel about being forced to share their bathrooms with anatomically male co- workers even if they are dressed in dresses.  No more adjusting anything in the ladies rooms heah or pulling or fixing those pesky panty hose out in the open areas.  The DOJ has made the school allow him/her use the ladies rooms.  This him/her refused to use the unisex bathrooms apparently, so perhaps the ladies can pop into those????  And this is but one of the issues in pandora's majic box.

By all accounts, Jennifer Braly is a good student. The University of Arkansas at Fort Smith psychology major carries a 3.58 GPA, according to the Arkansas Times, and has been a popular guest lecturer in psychology and sociology classes. Braly, 36 years old and transgender, has given about 20 faculty-sanctioned lectures on gender dysphoria, and at least one professor has written her a letter of recommendation saying Braly's talks "open the doors to a greater understanding and appreciation of this too often misunderstood disorder."

But, according to both the Times and the student newspaper, the Lion's Chronicle, Braly was recently forbidden by school administrators to give any more guest lectures, even when the professors have requested her to do so. Several professors supported Braly, one even cancelling her class instead of hosting it without the student lecturer. Braly, who sued the university earlier this year for discrimination in both restroom and housing policies, thinks the ban on her speaking to classes may be a way for the university to silence criticism of their transgender policies.
