A transgender woman is suing a Hooters franchise for discrimination after they allegedly refused to hire her based on 'her image'.
Brandy Livingston has been a regular at the restaurant, on Wolf Road in Colonie, a suburb of Albany in New York.
With career aspirations of working for the chain, Livingston had applied three times.
Livingston said she was not respected as a woman at the establishment, alleging that workers actively discriminated against her.
She told the outlet: 'They would use male pronouns. They would refer to me as he.'
On her being denied employment, she added: 'I said, do you want to see my experience or anything? Because I had previous jobs I had written down.
'And he said, “Oh, we don’t care about experience. We hire on the basis of personality. And there’s an image that needs to be met".'
Livingston said that she had also heard employees and a manager at the restaurant harass her about using their restroom.
She claimed: 'I overheard one of the servers after I left the restroom talking to one of the managers and said that, "Why are you allowing him in the women’s restroom?"
'And the manager said, "Oh, I don’t like it any more than you do".'
Livingston filed a claim with the New York State Division of Human Rights who investigated, and found evidence her rights may have been violated.
Hooters has since hit back at the claims, saying that Livingston had been told not to return to the establishment over alleged offensive behavior.
Their lawyers said that Livingston allegedly made sexually explicit comments to servers on multiple occasions prior to her transitioning.
News10 reporter James De La Fuente questioned Livingston over this, saying the chain had accused her asking servers to marry her, and discussing masturbation.

‘They would use male pronouns. They would refer to me as he.’
Well, Brandy, a DNA test should clear up any doubts.
We chose someone else
We won’t be needing your help
NEVER give a reason.
So… I wonder how much money was he expecting to make off a lawsuit? Hope it fails spectacularly.
Even if THAT was a real woman, IT wouldn’t have been hired
It’s called Hooters, not Mooooooters
Thank God! 😆
Trans woman sues Hooters after they ‘refused to hire IT’
(A transgender woman)
No such thing exists on the face of this Earth 🌎🌍
Anyone believing otherwise is a delusional liar and likely a Godless Reprobate
Just NO!!!
That’s a man
Good point.
But if I am sitting in the manager’s office, I would have to
say the “You can’t work here because you lied on your application.”
That transvestite needs to work in a place that serves soy patties instead of hamburgers.
Not a nuisance case in NYS.
He’ll win.
Maybe instead of Hooters he should be working at Zippy’s (it’s a chain in Hawaii and Las Vegas)
That’s a man, baby!
It’s a HE!
His duties are at closing time are:
Go ugly early. Remember when women didn’t have the shortcomings of today’s version of homely chicks.
