Colorado Civil Rights Division Rules Transgendered 6-Year-Old Can Use Girl's Bathroom

Coy Mathis was born a boy but identifies as a girl

The Colorado Civil Rights Division has ruled an elementary school discriminated against a transgender 6-year-old child by barring her from using the girls' bathroom.

KDVR reports the New York-based Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund announced the ruling Sunday, and said they would hold a news conference Monday to explain the decision in the case of Coy Mathis, who was born a boy but identifies as a girl.
