Judge Rejects Religious Exemption in NH Transgender Insurance Case

U.S. District Judge Landya McCafferty ruled that a jury must decide whether Turbocam unlawfully discriminated against Lillian Bernier through its health insurance coverage decisions. The judge also denied Bernier’s request for a ruling in the employee’s favor without a trial.

The Sept. 28 decision leaves one claim pending under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex and national origin. Bernier previously voluntarily dismissed claims under New Hampshire law and the Affordable Care Act.

Bernier, who began working for Turbocam in 2019, alleges the company changed its health insurance program to exclude sex change coverage after he began publicly identifying as a woman in 2020.

Can't even cover this without misgendering her? Journalistic integrity is dead and buried.
