Lamda Legal has filed a lawsuit on behalf of a transgendered woman in Houston. Apparently, the transgendered woman applied for a job with River Oaks Imaging. She passed a drug screen and background check and was offered a job. Then, human resources called her and rescinded the job offer saying that the reason was she "misrepresented herself as a woman."
Hilarity ensues.
You legal folks can weigh in on this one. If the employer is an EEOC employer and, although the applicant was qualified and offered the job, discriminated against this person, does that fall under the EEOC umbrella? God, didn't these people see TransAmerica? Poor Lynette from Desperate Housewives had to go through so much! [Pam's House Blend]
