Sanford Attorneys Calling for Dismissal of Transgender Lawsuit

Attorneys for Sanford say a lawsuit brought by a transgender employee alleging discrimination has no merit and should be dismissed.

Faye Seidler was born as male and identifies as female.

She says in a federal suit that Sanford violated her civil rights and is seeking unspecified damages and an order to stop the hospital from discriminating against other transgender employees.

Hospital attorneys say the company made a good-faith effort to address Seidler’s complaints and was working on giving her access to the women’s locker room before she quit.
