Glenn v. Brumby et al., 724 F. Supp. 2d 1284 (N.D. Ga. 2010),[1] aff'd, 663 F.3d 1312 (11th Cir. 2011),[2] is an American federal court case relating to the rights of transgender people. The case involved Vandy Beth Glenn, a transgender woman living in Georgia, who was dismissed from her job as a legislative editor at the Georgia General Assembly in 2007 on informing her supervisor, Sewell Brumby, of her transgender status.[3][4]

The lawsuit claimed that the state's action violated the provisions of the Equal Protection Clause against sex-based discrimination.

Glenn prevailed in the United States District Court;[1][5] the district court's judgment was upheld on appeal.[2][6][7]
