MStars has learned that transgender TV Personality B. Scott lost his battle against BET in the discrimination lawsuit he filed.

Scott claims the network forced him to change his outfits from women's clothing into a man's suit, ultimately removing him entirely from the show.

The judge in the case has dismissed the lawsuit, and ruled that BET has the 1st Amendment right to produce its shows that way that want to.

Scott said in a statement, "It disheartens me that the message sent today wasn't a message of acceptance, but rather it's acceptable to discriminate against transgender individuals on the basis of their gender identity and expression."

The blogger and host plans to make an appeal.
