She was taunted by co-workers as a 'man in a dress,' trans woman claims in suit against Circle K
NBC News ^ | 8/22/2019 | Janelle Griffith

An African American transgender woman in the Chicago area is suing national convenience store chain Circle K, alleging she was fired from one of its stores and retaliated against after reporting co-workers' use of racial and transphobic slurs against her.

Judi Brown claims in the lawsuit filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois that a manager and other Circle K employees at the store in Bolingbrook, Illinois, harassed her based on her race and being transgender.

Brown, 26, said she was fired after she complained about the alleged discrimination.

“The discrimination and harassment were traumatizing and needed to be called out," Brown said in a press release by the American Civil Liberties Union, which is representing her. "It was not fair.”

The lawsuit comes a week after the Trump administration filed a brief with the Supreme Court arguing that transgender workers are not protected by civil rights laws.

In Illinois, the state's Human Rights Act includes specific protections for employees on the basis of gender identity and sexual orientation, the ACLU said in its release.

When Brown worked as a Circle K cashier from May 2016 to June 2017, a store manager asked her "offensive and sexually explicit questions" about her romantic partners, sexual and reproductive anatomy and her plans for sexual reassignment surgery, the lawsuit claims.

She also alleges that a manager refused to refer to her by her chosen name in company documents and that another co-worker sometimes used male pronouns to refer to her and called her a “man in a dress.”

The Left’s hearts are so desperately wicked that they refuse ot admit what truth is and what it isn’t- their whole lives are run by blatant lies- but that’s not even the worst part- they are trying to foist that LIE onto the rest of us- They want us to become as desperately wicked and allergic to truth as they are- they serve the father of lies- and the truth is offensive to them

A man in a dress is still a man.

MODERN DAY MANIFESTATION OF MUNCHHAUSEN SYNDROME.

Munchausen syndrome is a factitious disorder, a mental disorder in which a person repeatedly and deliberately acts as if he or she has a physical or mental illness when he or she is not really sick. Munchausen syndrome is considered a mental illness because it is associated with severe emotional difficulties.

“An African American transgender woman in the Chicago area...”

I was going to make a crack about the Dems running her for the Presidency, but then I remembered they have seriously considered running Mooch 0bama!

A transgender woman IS a man in a dress. We can defeat this if we refuse to accept it.

The best woman is now a man who “identifies” as a woman.

The feminazis are about to be devoured by the Title IX monster they created.

A man who decides to wear lipstick and claim to “identify” as a woman now gets to leapfrog all the other protected classes and move to the front of the line!

I had one of ‘these’ 20 years ago where I worked.
A customer brought his 4 year old daughter to the restrooms and was waiting for his daughter outside of the restroom when he/she/it came out of the womans bathroom.
The police refused to arrest the father for the beating he gave he/she/it.
Corporate solution was to install deadbolts on the bathroom doors.
The entire episode was distasteful.

Don’t call the man in a dress a man in a dress or you will be punished. And fail your idiot training.

Brown, in fact, is a man in a dress.

There is no “trans-gender” woman.

There is no “transition”. There is only surgical mutilation and drug (hormone) induced physical pretense.

There are men who have had their body mutilated so they can pretend to be a woman, to satisfy an errant mental obsession that, in error, has convinced them they are not the sex they truly are - the sex that every cell in their natural body has in its DNA.

The complainant is a man who where’s women’s clothes. The people HE complains about were just being factual.

I would recommend “Judi” not to pose for pictures with those hands so close to the camera.
