Transgender UWM student says she’s been discriminated against on campus

A University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee student says she’s been discriminated against by her school.

The transgender student said it happened at the school’s fitness center, when she tried to use the women’s locker room.

Justine Kramer identifies as a woman, but was born a man.

Kramer still went by Justin when she filed a complaint against the Klotsche Center. Since then, Kramer has legally changed her name, and soon her drivers license will reflect her female gender identity.

“A lot of people view me as a threat to their safety when I’m not,” explained Kramer.

That’s how Kramer said she felt she was viewed in the sauna at the Klotsche Center in January.

“She asked me ‘Are you supposed to be in here?’ I said yes. She said ‘Are you sure?’ I said yes, because I was well aware this was a women’s locker room,” explained Kramer.

“At this point I don’t look very female,” said Kramer. She said she often hears comments about not looking female.

But it’s something she’s working to change, as she works with a physician to get started on hormone therapy. In the meantime, she’s working to change the policies at her school.
