Know Your Rights: What To Do If You're Stopped By Police, Immigration Agents or the FBI

Hombres T: Archivo Colorado Transgender Girl Banned From First-Grade School Bathroom <br/><a href=" US News</a> | <a href=" Business News</a> Copy Coy Mathis, born a male triplet, has behaved like a girl since she was 18 months old. Since being enrolled at Eagle Elementary School in Fountain, Colo., the 6-year-old has presented as female and wearing girls' clothing. But since December, school officials have told her parents she can no longer use the female facilities and ordered her to use the boys' or nurse's bathroom. "We want Coy to have the same educational opportunities as every other Colorado student," said Kathryn Mathis, Coy's mother. Now Jeremy and Kathryn Mathis, with the help of the Transgender Legal and Defense Education Fund (TLDEF), have filed a complaint with the Colorado Civil Rights Division on behalf of Coy, alleging that the school has violated her rights. "Our eye is focused on getting Coy back into school," said TLDEF's executive director Michael Silverman.
