    Hi, I’m the person the story’s about.

    Fort Collins is a college town in one of the few states that theoretically offer “full protections” for trans Americans. It’s not “a conservative town”. Might be a bit more conservative than Boulder, as it’s the home of Colorado State University (formerly Colorado A&M) but it’s not that much more conservative.

    Also, I moved to Colorado for a reason, and it’s because their laws purportedly protect transgender people fully. Shame that wasn’t actually the case.

      You are going to appeal this up the chain right? Regardless of what happens in the court case I hope you can find somewhere to live and be yourself, safely.

        The Federal Courts Act impairs my ability to take it to the Federal Court of Appeal. But still, there are concerns regarding principles of natural justice with this federal court decision that could allow me to certify a question that could challenge that particular section of the Federal Courts Act.

        But yes. I will fight this case to the bitter end.
