Former Kansas prison employee says she was harassed for being transgender, files lawsuit
The Kansas City Star ^ | January 24, 2024 | BY KATIE MOORE

A transgender woman alleges she faced discrimination while working for the Kansas Department of Corrections, including not being allowed to use the women’s restroom and being moved to a basement office that had been a supply closet.

Shelly Lamb filed a federal lawsuit on Tuesday.

From March 2008 until August 2022, Lamb worked at Hutchinson Correctional Facility as a counselor and then a supervisor.

In October 2021, Lamb informed the corrections department that she was transitioning to female. According to the lawsuit, she was told she could not wear makeup, nail polish or women’s clothing to work, and that other employees would not be required to call her by her current name or use female pronouns. Lamb said she was also told she was not allowed to use the women’s restroom.

After transitioning, she was relocated to a basement office that had been a supply closet. The lawsuit claims she was moved to isolate her from others and to pressure her to resign. The lawsuit alleges the department engaged in sex discrimination and retaliation, and that Lamb quit because of the work environment.

I wonder if this issue was generally treated in such a manner whether the problem would rectify itself.

“Here is a simple but profound truth: If there are no absolutes by which to judge society, the society is absolute. Society is left with one man or an elite filling the vacuum left by the loss of the Christian consensus which originally gave us form and freedom.” —Franciss Schaeffer

Isaiah 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.

The world is uside down. We are doomed.

A Men’s Prison is not the appropriate workplace for a man who decides to ‘transition’. He is setting himself up to receive less than welcoming, less than sympathetic responses from both inmates and staff.

Perhaps it ‘should not be this way’, but human nature being what it is, has a less diplomatic way of seeing such a staff. He was probably transferred to a distant office, partially for his own protection, and is too self-deluded to admit it.

Getting back to fundamentals. Since a man can’t become a woman, then there is no such thing as a transition. You cannot transition to something that doesn’t exist or can’t happen. I think I’ll put on a funny costume and a cape and transition into Superman. Watch me fly off at 12 story building.

It was probably all good until he set the building on fire.

“Shelly” is just a male pretending to be female.
