I don't have a lot of time at this moment to write a longer treatise on this but it’s been on my mind since our meeting last week. In accordance with AB 537, the Student Safety and Violence Prevention Act of 2000, the school is not “to willfully ... interfere with [or] oppress” people’s rights on the basis of gender. But the university’s actions do interfere with my rights based on gender. The legislation (contrary to Lockyer) says that it IS “incumbent” upon you to not discriminate. I know that you say that you are not basing your discrimination on gender, but on some paperwork --- whether someone has a certain card or paper showing that their that their transgender status has been “approved” by some other agency. I know you say that your discrimination is based not on gender, but on paperwork, but it is based on gender.

Take care,
Olympia
