Glenn v. Brumby et al., 724 F. Supp. 2d 1284 (N.D. Ga. 2010), aff'd, 663 F.3d 1312 (11th Cir. 2011)) is an American federal court case relating to the rights of transgender people. The case involved Vandy Beth Glenn, a transgender woman living in Georgia, who was dismissed from her job as a legislative editor at the Georgia General Assembly in 2007 on informing her supervisor, Sewell Brumby, of her transgender status.
The lawsuit claimed that the state's action violated the provisions of the Equal Protection Clause against sex-based discrimination.
Glenn prevailed in the United States District Court, and then again in the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.
