This article profiles Steve Dain, a trans man and former high school women’s physical education teacher, and his ongoing legal battle for reinstatement after taking sick leave to receive gender-affirming care. Upon Dain’s return, the school district suspends him. This decision is upheld by an Alameda County judge, citing Dain’s “dishonesty” for a lack of explanation for his leave.
