Gender Change Costs Dean a Job
The legal point is the quality of the medical opinion that the gender confusion is a medically recognized condition beyond Julie's control as WSS explains above. Also, the fact that Julie's spouse of 35 years accepted the change is a material fact. The arguments the religious institution may put forth pale by comparison. This is neither a legal nor religious argument, but a medical one. Neither the religious nor the jurists bring any special knowledge to the table. Right from wrong will be resolved on the facts of the case, not the school, Julie or Barnabee's opinion. The scripture quotes or other religious basis Barnabee waits for are irrelevant. But that does explain why a PR firm rather than lawyers are handling the School's responses. Some other legal items of note are: the school is estopped to deny ability after years on the job, positive performance reviews, need to educate the school and the public about fairness and the difference between the First Amendment right to an individual's right to freedom of religion and the prohibition against organized abuse in the name of religion.
Fire Billy Knight first
This same ownership group trusted Don Waddell to fire Bob Hartley because they were convinced the Thrashers' coach had lost the team six games after a playoff season. Given Woodson is still employed, we have to assume he is somehow held in higher regard after over 200 losses. But since they have waited this long, they might as well make the move that makes more sense. Fire the builder, not the plumber.

the male reproductive tract
This is known as cryptorchidism (hidden gonads) and is thought to be caused by insufficient testosterone production during foetal life. This in turn fails to stimulate secretion of enough calcitonin gene-related peptide needed to trigger testicular descent. For some reason, the incidence of cryptorchidism has increased by 60 per cent over the last 30 years. This may be related to foetal exposure to weak environmental oestrogens. In many cases, an undescended testicle descends on its own within a few months of birth, so that by the age of 1 year, only 2 per cent of baby boys are affected. After this time, an undescended testis is unlikely to correct itself spontaneously and surgical intervention is needed. An undescended testis which is left in the abdomen does not develop normally.
