Transsexual Cannot Become Crisis Center Councilor Court Rules

A Vancouver transsexual has lost the latest round in her battle with a women's group to become a volunteer rape counselor.

The British Columbia Court of Appeal dismissed an appeal by Kimberly Nixon to overturn her expulsion from Vancouver Rape Relief.

Gwendoline Allison, the lawyer for the women's group, says the decision essentially protects the right of Vancouver Rape Relief to choose its counselors.

Nixon, who was born biologically male but underwent a sex-change operation in 1990, was ejected from a training session for volunteer counselors when a staff member learned she had not always been biologically female.
