Both sides claimed victory Friday, July 11, after a judge ruled that Cal Baptist University in Riverside could exclude a transgender woman from on-campus classes but not university-controlled businesses and services that are open to the public.
Superior Court Judge Gloria Connor Trask, in an 11-page ruling, backed Cal Baptist on four of the five claims filed by former student Domaine Javier.
Javier, 27, was suspended and then expelled in August 2011 after revealing in an episode of MTV's "A True Life" that she is biologically a male. She had listed her gender as female on her application for enrollment to study nursing. Cal Baptist said she was expelled for fraud and that the university does not bar transgender students.

I'm sorry... What...?
No. They are not in any way financially or materially impacted by the fact that she has a penis. Fraud is about damages, and unless they are saying they would not have admitted a male student to the program, they are essentially admitting they do not admit trans people.
