Kevin Werner can walk across the Eastern Michigan University campus with his head held a little higher. EMU's Board of Regents added a clause to its anti-discrimination policy protecting the dignity of individuals facing harassment because of their gender identity or expression.
While Werner hasn't faced persecution from students or staff because of his status as a transgendered individual, he feels the regent's action was important.
"Nobody's bothered me whatsoever," he said. "But, it's a safeguard. It gives EMU a friendly appearance for the LGBT community as a whole."
Werner, 26, completed his surgical transformation from a woman to a man in December 2006.
"I don't have a day of regret," he said.
