Court Rules Teachers Don’t Have a Religious Right to Misgender Trans Students

“Court victories keep rolling in for trans people,” said transgender activist Erin Reed of this decision.

On April 7, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that public school teachers do not have a constitutional right to misgender a student just because that student is transgender. Importantly, the Court also held that religious accommodation cannot justify the “harm to students and disruption to the learning environment” that occurs as a result of a teacher actively misgendering their student.
