A transgender man expelled in January from the University of Pittsburgh-Johnstown for defying the school's edict not to use the men's locker room filed a complaint today with the Pittsburgh Commission on Human Relations, charging the school and its top officials with discriminating against him.

The complaint is the latest volley in Seamus Johnston's ongoing battle with Pitt over its transgender policy, one that has drawn the attention of FBI agents investigating bomb threats that have crippled daily life at the Oakland campus. Mr. Johnston's complaint was filed with the city commission because Pitt's main campus and top administrators are in Pittsburgh.

Mr. Johnston, 22, and his partner, Katherine Anne McCloskey, 56, a transgender woman, were interviewed by agents Wednesday at their apartment in Jackson Township, Cambria County. The next day, they were subpoenaed to appear Tuesday before a federal grand jury.

Mr. Johnston said agents told him he was being investigated in the bomb threats because of his explusion from the university in January after repeatedly using men's locker room facilities on the Johnstown campus despite being told not to do so. Mr. Johnston also is awaiting trial on three misdemeanors filed in the campus incident. Ms. McCloskey said agents indicated to her that the couple were persons of interest in the probe.

There ARE sick freaks, though.

Mutilating a healthy body part does not cure mental illness.

Some of them have yet to go through the genital mutilation.
