Hoskinson, Tracy, Etsitty v. Utah Transit Authority: Transposing Transsexual Rights Under Title VII. 15 Law & Sexuality 175-184 (2006).
A federal court decision in Utah is called into question by the author who disagrees with the court’s reasoning in denying Title VII protection to a preoperative transsexual who was fired from her job for using the women’s restroom while she still had male genitalia. The author argues that the court made a mistake in choosing to define a preoperative transsexual in accordance with her biological sex. Rather, the court should have classified that plaintiff as a “female who was discriminated against because she happened to have male genitalia.”
