Transgender child wins discrimination case to use girls bathroom at school
6-year-old Coy Mathis, who first identified as a girl at 18 months, was barred from using the girls’ restroom at Eagleside Elementary School in Fountain, CO in December 2012. Prior to that, Coy, who dresses as a girl and is recognized as female on her passport and state I.D., had no issue with using the girls’ bathroom. After a year without incident, Coy’s parents were informed that, “Coy was no longer going to be able to use the girls’ restroom and they were going to require her to be using the boys’ room or the staff bathroom or the bathroom for the sick children.”
