ORONO, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- A judge has ruled in favor of the Orono School District in a case involving a transgender student.
In 2009, the child's family filed a complaint with the Human Rights Commission. Their daughter was born male, but lives her life as a female, and in 2007 another student started bullying her for using the girls' bathroom. The school addressed the issue by having the student use a separate, unisex bathroom. The Human Rights Commission ruled that was discrimination. But Tuesday, a judge disagreed, ruling that the school did not act with deliberate indifference. It's a disappointing outcome for the student's family, who has spent the last three years doing everything they can to give their daughter a normal life.
