The Huffington Post reports that George Fox University, a Christian school in Newberg, Oregon has banned a transgender sophomore student from living in an all male dorm. The school claims they have denied the request because of their “theological commitments.”
The university allegedly gave the student, who identifies as male, two alternative living options for the 2014-2015 school year: to live off campus with his male roommates, as long as he notified their parents about the arrangement and changed his name and sex on his driver’s license and social security card or to live alone.
However, the student has now decided to file a federal complaint against the university.

In a separate case involving transgender legal rights, The Star reports that a family in Canada has filed one of several human rights complaints across the country arguing their son should be allowed to change or remove the “sex” from his birth certificate as in her heart and in her brain, their six-year-old is a girl. Her mother said says Renn needed her birth certificate last year to register for kindergarten in Saskatoon and was embarrassed to be listed as a boy.
That led to her family to fight for a new birth certificate, a basic piece of paper needed to apply for most identification documents. They argue in the past, certificates only listed the baby’s race and the father’s occupation.
