Transgender student wants change to Jenison bathroom policy

From our partners at WOOD TV:

At a school board meeting Monday, transgender students demanded Jenison Public Schools change its bathroom policy.

Last month, Flynn Suttorp, a transgender student, contacted the American Civil Liberties Union with complaints about discrimination at Jenison High School. Suttorp, a Jenison graduate who is also transgender and an attorney for the ACLU spoke at the Monday meeting.

Suttorp, a high school junior, said transgender students face a number of challenges. He said not having access to the bathroom for the gender they identify as perpetuates bullying and discrimination.
