Settlement reached in transgender lawsuit against hospital

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A settlement has been reached in a lawsuit brought by a transgender employee at a Fargo hospital who says she was discriminated against in the workplace.

Faye Seidler filed the complaint against Sanford Medical Center. She says she was not treated fairly and was wrongly denied access to the women's locker room.

Sanford's attorneys said in court documents that the hospital made a good-faith effort to address Seidler's complaints and were working on the locker room issue when she quit. She resigned from her job as a technician in March 2015.

Seidler's attorney, Joshua Newville, says the agreement resolves the matter "to the mutual satisfaction of the parties." He would not disclose terms of the settlement.
