Transgender woman's complaint against MLA dismissed

AnN.W.T. human rights panel has dismissed a complaint by a transgender woman alleging discrimination by territorial cabinet minister Michael Miltenberger.

Gabrielle Landrie said Miltenberger asked her to leave the Aurora College campus when Gov. Gen. David Johnston was visiting Fort Smith in 2011.

Miltenbergeradmitted he told Landrie she "spooked" the governor general, but not that he asked her to leave.

Landrie said Miltenberger denied her accessbecause she is a transgender woman.

The human rights panel said the evidence does not suggest Miltenberger's actions were the result of Landrie's gender identity.
