Description

In the episode, Erin Hart and Christy Hall discuss the legal protections for transgender students and their families under federal and state law

The Minnesota Human Rights Act ensures rights for transgender students and their families. If you have experienced discrimination, you can report it to the Minnesota Department of Human Rights here: https://mn.gov/mdhr/intake/consultationinquiryform/
Gender Justice has won cases against school districts who violated transgender students' rights, guaranteeing access to facilities and ending discrimination.
Transgender student rights face challenges due to political debates, sometimes leading to non-compliance and potential bullying.
Christy highlights protections under Title IX, a federal law enforced by the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) at the Department of Education. See here for more information on how to file a complaint with OCR. https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/docs/howto.html

This is the podcast of Gender Justice. We fight for Gender Equity by dismantling barriers and expanding protections so that all people can thrive regardless of their gender, gender expression, and sexual orientation. We work for: economic justice, reproductive freedom and justice, freedom from gender based violence, and for trans & LGBQ liberation at work, in public, in school, in healthcare, and more. We are facing a historic opportunity to make real change in Minnesota with the first pro-reproductive freedom state legislature. Join us - and stand up to fight for our rights.
