A woman suing the U.S. Army and Air Force for discrimination said her case centers on what certain military leaders think a "lesbian female should look like," according to media reports.
Technical Sgt. Kristin Kingrey, who has served in the Air National Guard in West Virginia for 14 years, told the Daily Beast on Monday that she is suing the two branches for discrimination after a male supervisor in 2019 allegedly made disparaging comments about her appearance, including that she needed to grow her hair out and wear makeup. Kingrey said officials tried to intimidate her into obeying, later acting on threats to cause her professional damage.
"It leaves me in such disbelief. They have made this my life. Whenever I discuss it I am at a loss for words," Kingrey said. "It was a completely unacceptable comment, and a completely unacceptable situation. I am fighting this case not just because what happened to me was blatantly wrong, but, most importantly, I truly hope positive change comes from my case and it prevents another individual having to walk this path, because it is a very long and dark path to walk."(snip)
Mike Hissam, Kingrey's attorney, said he believes the case is viable and could win even if it takes up to two years to go through the system.
"We will be arguing that this was discrimination on the basis of sex, and discrimination on the basis of Kristin not conforming to the gender norms that the leadership of the organization thought she should conform to," Hissam told the outlet. "We know that from some of the correspondence so far that they will argue that they cannot discriminate against lesbians because other lesbian women within the organization have thrived.

That is a she?
Bull dyke or tranny?
It ain’t like in the movies.
Clinton was on the ropes with the gays in the military issue then found a way to get out of it.
There is an expectation to take orders, obey orders conform to a uniform standard.
There is a military tradition of things like “drill” so you don’t get killed in a combat situation.

Gays = Mine Detectors
That’s a man, man ♂️
This is about how supervisors treat subordinates. For superiors to tell subordinates how to look to advance their careers, implying if they do not their careers are at risk, is unprofessional and asking for a discrimination lawsuit. Her sexual orientation is irrelevant. If she was heterosexual and her supervisors did this, her grounds to sue would be exactly the same.
aieechiwawa! she looks like a man.
if thats really a woman i feel sorry for her.
Losing weight looks like more of an issue than her haircut
If she can’t handle criticism, then she ain’t fit to,fight for this nation. Cripes what an embarrassment some in our military are becoming. People,have had much much worse said about them, and they simply got on with life without all,the whining.
Seriously, look at all the crap Patton had to put up with, did he whine about it?
Probably a set up by the military “leadership” so they go even more woke.
If she were heterosexual, she wouldn’t make such an effort to look like a man. I only read the FR part of the article; is there something more to the story than her superior telling her to glam up a little?
Exactly. The left are sadly succeeding at sissifying the military by coddling all the woke whiners that are infesting it now. I feel sorry for the patriots who now have to put up with the bs that mattis and ilk have caused. The woman should be dishi erably discharged for being a pansy
Dishonorably dishcharged i meant.
Women in the military. Enough said.
