Transgender Woman Shows She Still Has Balls
July 1st, 2008 by Babe
Kaylee Seals is pissed off. Why wouldn’t she be? Her scum employer, Old Dominion Freight Line, apparently fired her after she disclosed her plans to transition to female full-time. Still retaining the “balls” she was born with, Kaylee has filed a federal lawsuit against her former employer alleging discrimination and retaliation due to her gender expression. The suit is backed by the American Civil Liberties Union and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
The complaint charges that Old Dominion Freight Line fired her based on sex and sex stereotyping. It also accuses the company of retaliating against Seals by giving negative job references to prospective employers after she was no longer with the company. Seals seeks back pay, reinstatement, and damages for emotional distress, along with the requirement that Old Dominion train employees against sex-based discrimination.
“Transgender employees need to be able to earn a living and support themselves just like everyone else,” said Transgender Political Coalition president Marisa Richmond. “Through this lawsuit, I hope all employers learn that they should respect transgender employees, because if they don’t, they can be held liable for illegal discrimination.”
