The Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission has dismissed a transgender woman’s case against a food service provider.
The Commission says it’s dismissed Jessica Dempsey’s complaint because of insufficient evidence to support the allegation.
Dempsey tells News 95.7 she’s disappointed in the decision.
“It was an awful lot of work to file a complaint, it’s very stressful,” she said, adding she does have a few options.
“If I feel like there wasn’t enough evidence gathered, I have the option to apply to a judicial review,” she said, “[but] that costs money and … time.”
Dempsey filed a complaint against food service provider Aramark last fall, alleging she was discriminated against by two staff members on the basis of her gender identity.
