A historic anti-discrimination ruling favoring transgender sheriff's deputy Anna Lange has been voided by the conservative 11th Circuit Court, reopening her case for review.
Despite a previous ruling affirming Lange’s rights under federal law, the 11th Circuit’s decision to revisit the case prompts questions about the future of anti-discrimination protections.
Judge Wilson argued that the insurance plan discriminates against transgender individuals specifically, emphasizing that they are the only group affected by the exclusion of gender-affirming surgery.
Lange's case symbolizes a broader struggle within the LGBTQ community, particularly regarding access to healthcare and the implications of judicial reinterpretation of civil rights laws.
