A federal judge has found that a Georgia sheriff’s office was illegally discriminating when it denied gender reassignment surgery to a deputy
ATLANTA — — A federal judge has found that a Georgia sheriff's office was illegally discriminating when it denied gender reassignment surgery to a deputy.that Houston County cannot exclude surgery for the transgender woman from its health insurance plan, citing a 2020 U.S. Supreme Court decision finding that a Michigan funeral home couldn't fire an employee for being transgender.
Sheriff Cullen Talton, first elected sheriff in 1972, initially took it as a joke, Treadwell wrote, and then said he doesn’t “believe in sex changes,” before ultimately granting permission for Lange to dress as a woman, but warned she would need “tough skin” to deal with her coworkers. Treadwell found it's undisputed that Lange's surgery “medically necessary" and questioned whether the concern about costs was just a smokescreen to discriminate against Lange.
“Discrimination on the basis of transgender status is discrimination on the basis of sex and is a violation of Title VII,” the judge wrote.
