A professor at Shawnee State University continues to pursue a yearslong legal battle after he was rebuked in 2018 for misgendering a student. - NBCOUT

The yearslong battle started after Nicholas Meriwether refused to address a transgender student at Shawnee State University using "she/her" pronouns.An Ohio professor is forging ahead with his yearslong legal battle after he was rebuked in 2018 for refusing to use a transgender student's preferred pronouns. His case was heard in a federal appeals court on Thursday.

His lawsuit, filed in November 2018, claimed that the university’s attempt to enforce its nondiscrimination policy was a violation of his First Amendment rights. The suit claims that “the number of potential gender identities is infinite” and that there are over 100"different options currently available.”

At Thursday’s hearing, Meriwether’s lawyer maintained that the student in question, who was referred to as Jane Doe, had not been denied any educational benefits and that his client had “bent over backwards” to accommodate her.
