Title IX and Transgender Students

I've been invited this weekend to a symposium sponsored by the University of Wisconsin Law School's Journal of Law, Gender and Society, on the subject of Transcending Gender Lines: Title IX and Transgender Rights. I thought I'd take a break from my recent series on filing employment discrimination complaints to talk about Title IX and transgender students.

There are a lot of other fabulous people coming, and the full line up is here.

My paper is entitled "Protecting Transgender Students: Application of Title IX to Gender Identity or Expression and the Constitutional Right to Gender Autonomy." The bottom line of this paper? If you're filing a case to protect transgender students' rights to proper forms of address, dress codes, facilities usage and protection from invasive questioning, then you can't count on Title IX alone. You should also file a claim under the U.S. Constitution for the right to gender autonomy.
