A transgender man in New Jersey is suing Amazon, claiming he was harassed and denied a promotion with the online giant after telling his boss he was pregnant.
Shaun Simmons claims he told supervisor Mike Menno about his pregnancy in June 2019. Menno then told another supervisor, Tyler Houpt, and word spread through the Princeton fulfillment center, according to a federal lawsuit, which was filed Monday.
Simmons said he was soon harassed by other employees at the warehouse, including in the men’s bathroom, where one worker asked, “Aren’t you pregnant?”
Menno and Houpt also allegedly began criticizing Simmons’ work performance in an attempt to get him demoted.
After Simmons complained to human resources, he was placed on paid leave, according to the suit.
When he returned from leave, Simmons says he was demoted to item picker, which required him to lift “large bags of dog food and other heavy items,” the New Jersey Law Journal reports.
Simmons told human resources lifting such weight in his condition was causing abdominal pain. He was placed on paid leave again in July and told to furnish a doctor’s note for any pregnancy-related accommodations.

Works every time...mostly...I think...🤔
Indeed. And using that "wokeness" against them is very poetic justice indeed. What will be their defense? I fully expect Amazon will bend the knee on this.
This is much more than a transgender thing. If a woman cannot do the job because of the physiological differences in the genders, then she shouldn’t be there. If she filled out her job application and marked “male” on her card, that’s fraud. If she marked “female,” then she has to understand that she is working in a position that requires men’s physical attributes like skeletal muscles, a different bone structure, and ligament and tendon differences like the ACL which are more prone to injury in women than men.
But what this does is identify the differences and makes it more difficult for women to compete in jobs equally and makes it take a step back for competing in jobs that are not normally available to women that have been forced on the public for these reasons. If they can do the job, then they should be allowed. If they can’t, then they shouldn’t have got the job to begin with just to prove a non-existent point. I don’t see many street sweepers flying many airliners. Not qualified. Shouldn’t see many women doing a physical job they can’t handle physically.

I guess it is a woman who is actually pregnant, but likes to pretend to be a man.
Wait...what’s the gestation period for a transsexual man?
We are already 10 months into 2020, and he announced his pregnancy in 2019. This could be a scientific breakthrough!
She’s not a man, she’s a mentally ill female. No one should have to accommodate lawsuit whores like this.
I feel sorry for IT’S child. It’s kid will be confused. The kid should be removed to a sane household...
She is a pregnant woman. So nu?
