Transgender Woman Forced To Work As A Man

TSA was sued and and to pay for emotional damages, and restore back pay - if I heard it right. This was a clear example of a transwoman being harassed so she would leave. Her superiors should have put her into a better position to do her job, they didn't have to out her. Just because a woman was born in a male body and has not fully transitioned, does not make her a man.

But preaching to the choir here.

wow.

people are pretty dumb... why would anyone think that forcing a woman to dress & work as a man would be OK? SO STUPID.

I honestly can't even imagine that conversation.

Boss: Hi Ashley. You look lovely, today.

Ashley: Oh, thanks! Why'd you call me in here?

Boss: OH! Yeah, well... it turns out we want you to wear a male wig to work.

Ashley: Ummm....

Boss: Yes... and um... we want you to work in the men's line... as a man.

Ashley: But I'm a woman.

Boss: Uh... My hands are tied!!! Sorry, ma'am.

Ashley: *sigh*

or maybe a letter:

Dear Miss Ashley Yang,

In order to comply with section 23a of the TSA Employee's Manual, you need to pretend to be a man at work. Please buy a wig that gives the illusion of a crew cut. Failure to do so will result in your immediate termination.

Sincerely,

TSA Bureaucrats

...Ridiculous.

It was fortunate that there was a organization available and willing to take legal action. I doubt that anyone can really make up for all of the pain and humiliation she suffered during those two years.

Idiots.

Last year TSA fired a woman for being a witch, and their district manager was involved in the cover up, including falsifying records of her supposed misconduct so no one would know. Several people lost their jobs over it. The apparent reason is because she wouldn't stop complaining about harassment from her co-workers and her immediate superiors.

These people are complete morons, and I have not yet come up with a theory regarding why TSA policy is so bigoted.

May you find what you seek,

Landra

Wow that is messed up... sadly I think being in texas any work I get I might be forced to dress male too so idk.. :( Work is so hard to come by so they may think they can. Maybe that's why people do it, cause they know they can be picky with who they hire so getting a job they push you around more. Idk just a theory.

Kristina is one of my hero's! TLC does some really amazing work!

Dawn

Kristina is indeed. And we know that first hand Dawn. I finally responded because I don't want this thread to be about fear but about solutions and what we have going for our community and the people fighting for us, which includes each one of us. Ashley is a very impressive and strong woman.

      I am about 5 weeks ahead of you ... best wishes to you! For me it has been subtle changes at most so far (if any) ... but I am also on the "beginner's" level of patch, lol ...    Easy

      Oh, another comment.   I am a conservative evangelical with strong Republican leanings. So is my wife, my friends, my family. I disagree with a good amount of what the Republicans are doing, but there it is.  I understand the mindset, I think, a lot better than those who are outside it do.   When you insult Republicans you insult me, my friends, my family.   People like me can struggle with trans issues.   Please consider that in posting.

      Then you are in despair.

      I found this as well. No playacting, they just appear: the finger waggle wave; bracing my elbow on my other arm that's folded across my chest, wrist in the air half-cocked; walking a bit more fiercely... All that. My wife thought I was mocking her at one point!

      I find my lack of time to read the thing frustrating, and I will not really comment until I have read it.  This is a wholly inadequate response.   1.  I think there are some legitimate concern.   2. Thoroughly discussing this will consume many threads.   3. I disagree partially with @MaeBe but there is partial agreement.   4. The context includes what is happening in society that the authors are observing.  It is not an isolated document.   5. Trump, if elected, is as likely to spend his energies going after political opponents as he is to implementing something like this.    6. I reject critical theory, which is based on Marxism.  Marxism has never worked and never will.  Critical theory has problems which would need time to go into, which I do not have.   7. There are groups who have declared war on the nuclear family as problematically patriarchal, and a lot of other terms. They are easy to find on the internet.  This document is reacting to that (see #4 above).   8.  Much of this would have to be legislated, and this is a policy documented.  Implementation would  be most likely different, but that does not mean criticism is unwarranted.

      Sort of bracing myself for flipping, because I am wearing f and of course I wear f and it is natural to wear f and what else would I wear?  The  novelty is long gone out on this.  I wore a bra most of yesterday but we had a Zoom call and I took the bra off because I was concerned about the straps showing.  I missed it.    My body is saying "I am female!  Treat me that way!"   In the past it has screamed about this activity that  I have done to it.

      This is what I'm scared of.  And it's quite possible. Apparently Chicken Little was right.

      Whether it was a hate crime or not, it's still horrible.

      Finally I  am back online   I had to use the help of the contact form (not proud  of that, I always feel embarrassed and shy about contacting people), but here I am   missed all of you

      I'm not happy to admit this, but I usually scream or break things.   Breaking things became a bit of a no no, because It was always a cd or something I liked and it got very expensive to replace stuff

      Probably amusement parks. I've never been to one sadly, but I think I could talk for an hour about them without any problem

      The name "Mississippi" comes from the Anishinabe tribe of Native Americans; the word means "Father of Waters."
