New York, Reuters - A transgender man has sued the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation for discrimination, saying staff at a public pool told him to use the women's locker room.
"They harassed and humiliated me," Bryan Ellicott said in a statement Monday announcing the lawsuit in state court.
The lawsuit asks the court to rule for the first time that denying transgender people use of a restroom or locker room that matches their gender identity is discrimination in violation of New York City human rights law, the statement said.
