Nursing student Domaine Javier was expelled from California Baptist University for “committing or attempting to engage in fraud, or concealing identity”. Javier said she was expelled after appearing in an MTV show and revealing that she was born male, although she identifies as female. California has laws that make it illegal to discriminate on the basis of gender identity but California Baptist University is private so they are not held to these laws. Is this a violation of human rights, or is it justifiable as a technicality?
