A transgender woman and Johnson County have reached an agreement over her civil rights complaint after a sheriff's deputy removed her from a women's restroom in the county courthouse.

The settlement, finalized Wednesday, requires the county to pay the complainant $7,000 and pass a resolution stating public restrooms in county buildings are open to people based on their gender identity regardless of the person's gender at birth. Sheriff's Office staff also will undergo training.

Still a best way is to avoid such circumstances.
