This case of a transgendered teacher here in alberta could end up being historic. Right now, transgendered persons are not protected under our human rights laws. If the courts so choose however, they could "read it in", and force the goverment to change the law, like what happened 10 years ago with gays. Here is hoping thats what happens.

Historic yes, but long overdue..!
And I'm not sure I agree with you when you say transgendered persons are not protected. Here's a quote from the news article that I read about the case.
"Julie Lloyd, an Edmonton lawyer and a human rights activist, said transgendered people are clearly covered by the law. She said she is mystified that a government-funded school board that is open to students of all faiths would make such a decision.
“They do not have a leg to stand on,†Lloyd said. “In my view there can be no question that excluding an individual because they are transgendered violates the human rights statute in Alberta.†"
