Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has forced the flannel and khaki outpost to make some changes, including nixing a rule about employee "personal appearance" that banned men from wearing women's clothing and ladies from dressing as guys.
. . .
The chain store also has agreed to train its staff on transgender issues - like which pronouns to use when referring to workers and customers.
The April settlement is the first crackdown against a retailer under the section of the state's Human Rights Law that bars employers from discriminating against applicants because of their gender identity.
"If more places would follow behind American Eagle's experience, a lot of us would be able to work more. and there would be less of us on the street or on the Internet risking our life just to survive," White said.

I would like to be called "your highness" from now on. I believe myself to be the King of France. If I'm ever busted for public urination, I'm a dog. You don't bust dogs for public urination. When filling out your census forms, feel free to answer anything you want. It used to be lying to do that. Now we measure those things differently. The truth is whatever you believe it to be.
And why does White have to risk his? her? life to survive? If you're a guy, wear men's clothes, and women should wear womens clothes. If there's a dress code.
These people have serious mental problems.
But the bigger problems reside with idiots like Cuomo who want to give these people special silly ass rights.
I would suppose that they would be he-she and it. This disgusts me, especially this early in the morning. It's enough to make one hurl.
These people have serious mental problems.
I used to think they were in the minority. Now I truly believe that we, the sane, are sooooo outnumbered. Crazy, perverted world we live in today.
they ARE the minority- but they get non-stop lamestream media coverage and judicial protection when they file their asinine lawsuits. And of course, there are at least 30-35% leftist moronic drones who support their right to be gender flummoxed.
Hetero is still the majority- we are the “silent majority” who adhere to traditional gender roles.
Well, about the hurl thing, there’s the cross dressing thing, which is what this is about. I don’t find it that sickening. Very weird, yes. But clothes are really just clothes. It bothers me that people with serious mental problems are being catered to. “Ok, sir, you want to be called ma’am, fine, I’ll get right on that.” These people are either men or women. period. And now we have to call men women and women men? Why? Because we don’t want to hurt the crazy peoples feelings?
Instead of figuring out new ways to sedate rambunctious boys in grade school with more modern drugs, maybe the drug companies can come up with a pill to give to trannies to allow them to wear the clothes the employers want them to wear.
If a man thinks he’s a woman, he’s delusional. Another word for crazy. Period.
I don’t really have a problem with a dude who wants to walk around wearing chicks clothes. But if that dude actually thinks he’s a chick, that person is crazy. And it’s seriously f’d up to ask someone else to agree with the crazy person.
There should be some sort of legal action that a normal person / employee can take against an employer who forces them to refer to a man as a woman or a woman as a man.
Perjury? Fraud?
The word 'It' comes to mind, as in I work with it or it needs help.......
This isn’t like the gay thing, where almost half the people in
some states think it’s ok to for gays to get married.
The Leftist Dems are off on their own on this one. They can’t defend this stuff. Crushing majorities support normal behavior in these cases. Huge wedge issues for the Republicans to use in November. Not to say that the economic / liberty issues are insufficient, they certainly are sufficient.
I quit shopping at AE when I was 17. Poorly made crap and apathetic employees. Now it is Eddie Bauer and Jos. A. Bank.
Soon all public/workplace buildings will have to provide TG/TV restrooms for these freaks.
There is no “nagging question”
There are behaviors. Some girls might fancy themselves excellent target shooters.
And then there are facts. XX or XY.
I know you’re joking, of course, but they’re the ones who are pretending like it’s some kind of choice, when it isn’t at all.
Or something. Provided this lunacy stands. These laws, I think, have been passed recently, and no one really knew what these laws meant.
The crazy people don’t want their own bathrooms.
They want to use the bathrooms of the sex they think of themselves as. Ladies, enjoy men wearing dresses in your bathrooms everywhere.
There are many many potential upsides to all this happening at this time.
Men wearing dresses are not women. That’s true whether the man wearing the dress has mutilated their genitals or not.
Those men are delusional. Crazy. This can easily be explained to voters, and it can be done without talking about the Bible.
Women voters who might support homosexual marriage and other weird things we don’t like will not support as strongly the idea that a man can go into their bathroom provided he’s wearing a dress. Rapists will understand the new paradigm. And women will know that the rapists know.
Yes, these people do have serious mental problems, but it seems that nearly 50% of America supports the in the name of fairness.
By saying it isn’t fair it seems that you can get nearly any bill passed these days.
I guess it’s safe to say that this is lunacy coming soon to a state near you.
NO NO NO...not YOUR HIGHNESS..it is YOUR ROYAL HIGHNESS.
stick to protocol!! : )
At the risk of being a tad gross...when some man who wants to be called a woman gets those wonderful monthly miserable cramps, has to deal with all the rest of it, downing Pamprin,,,then he can call himself a woman. Until then he is an it.
Cuomo is just like His Old Man.
Andrew Cuomo Is an opportunistic A$$HOLE living of the Taxpayers of the United States.
What happened to the missing 5 Billion Dollars
from the
Federal Housing program when he “RAN” it ????????
They may get them to publicly use those words like a trained monkey but they're still going to be thinking the same thing. You can't insult someone's intelligence without them feeling resentment. A shim is a shim.
