UPDATE: Interview with Jennifer Braly

By Tony Listi, on May 31, 2012

Bathroom-gate has inspired controversy, criticism, and debate.

Enclosed is an interview with Jennifer Braly, the pre-op male to  female transsexual that is the central figure of the bathroom-gate scandal at the University of Arkansas-Ft. Smith. 

Jennifer had some interesting takes on the bathroom-gate affair, transgender rights, Obama-care, and what determines gender identity disorder.

Here is the full interview transcribed:


CampusReform.org: What do you know about the complaints against you for entering the women's restrooms?

[The university told me] 'some students complained and we had to make a decision and this was our decision.' So I decided to try to fight that, and I filed a complaint with the Department of Justice, the Civil Rights Division, Educational Assistance, out of Washington, D.C. And they took up my case, and I got a verdict back about a couple months ago where they reached an agreement that I could use the women's restrooms....

The problems continued when I started doing lecture in the Psychology Department, and my gender identity, who I actually was, became publicly known on campus.... [T]he students found out I was transsexual and they decided they didn't want me using their bathroom. And they raised some complaints. I don't know how many complaints. One, two, it could be twenty, I don't know....

UPDATE: 5/29/2012 3:15 PM EST
An exclusive interview with Jennifer Braly by Campus Reform will  be posted shortly.

UPDATE 3:30 PM EST:
Recently obtained university documents, shows that Braly also complained about "housing" issues and his ability to partake in a "pom squad tryout." The documents reveal that the university changed policy to accommodate him.

A letter from the Department of Justice (DOJ) caused the University of Arkansas at Ft. Smith (UAFS) early this month to reverse policy and allow a 38-year old anatomically male-student permanent use of women's bathrooms on campus despite opposition from female students.

The university made the reversal on "advice of counsel" after receiving a letter the DOJ sent in response to a complaint that a single, self proclaimed "transgender" student filed with the DOJ's Civil Rights Division.

"Because of the stance we took, the individual filed a complaint with the Office of Civil Rights in the Department of Justice," Mark Horn who is the vice president of university relations explained in an interview with Campus Reform on Tuesday.
