A patient at a hospital getting denied treatment because they are transsexual; their assigned gender not matching the gender that they identify with.
Direct evidence often involves a statement from a decision-maker that expresses a discriminatory motive. Direct evidence can also include express or admitted classifications, in which a recipient explicitly distributes benefits or burdens based on race, color, or national origin.
Discrimination is when a student is treated worse or bullied because of the student's immigration status, disability, gender, nationality, race or ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation.
