California Baptist University Student Domaine Javier Expelled for Being Transgender

A student from California Baptist University was recently expelled after the school found out she was transgender. According to university officials, 24-year-old Domaine Javier committed fraud when she listed herself as female on the university application.

The discovery came when school officials saw the student in an April 2011 episode of MTV's documentary series "True Life." In the episode, titled "I'm Passing as Someone I'm Not," Javier reveals her transgender identity to family and friends.

Javier said that she has identified as a female since childhood, and began presenting and living as a woman at age 13.

"I didn't do anything wrong," Javier told the Press-Enterprise of Riverside. "The [administration] said, 'On your application form you put female.' And I was like, 'Yeah, that's how I see myself.'"

I hope this gets a lot of buzz.

This really cuts to the heart of everything.

Another shining example by people of faith and "love". That's why I left the church after 47 years. I hope another school see's this and gives her a full ride scholarship. She may never hear about it, but BIG HUG to her.
