Colorado Transgender Student Suspended For Using Women’s Restroom

Relevant for our LIST project.

Dionne Malikowski, 16, claims she was told she would be suspended for three days from Fort Collins High School when she was caught using the women’s restroom. “I cried,” said Malikowski, who was born male but now identifies as transgender. At present, she is required to use the staff bathrooms instead of the students’ bathrooms. “I told them that it was really messed up for them to do that to me, and they were like, ‘We’ve warned you before,’ and I was just like, ‘Obviously you don’t understand what it’s like.’”
