Transgender Professor: Boss Said My 'Entire Life Is One Big Lie' and Fired Me

Charin Davenport alleges in a lawsuit against a Michigan university that her supervisor and one-time friend lost it when she revealed she is transgender.



"A college professor says her boss accused her of living a lie when she came out as transgender.


Charin Davenport is suing Saginaw Valley State University in Michigan for sex discrimination after she said her supervisor laid her off from her administrative position two months after revealing she was transgender. Ann Coburn-Collins, the director of academic support programs, allegedly tore into Davenport after she asked about the termination."
