Transgender woman accuses Hooters of sex-based discrimination for refusing to hire her

Protesters swarmed a Hooters in upstate New York after a transgender woman sued the restaurant for "sex-based discrimination."

According to NEWS 10 on Thursday, Brandy Livingston was a regular patron at a Hooters based in the small town of Colonie, New York before transitioning into a woman. However, issues later arose at the restaurant when Livingston transitioned into a woman.

"They would use male pronouns. They would refer to me as he," Livingston told NEWS 10.

Livingston also accused the Hooters' management and employees of harassment when she tried to use their restrooms.

"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 told NEWS 10.

Furthermore, Hooters rejected Livingston's job application three times. Livingston sought to work as a server, even after having clashes with the restaurant staff over gender pronouns.

"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 told NEWS 10.

Livingston filed a claim with the New York State Division of Human Rights.

This happened quite a few years ago when a guy sued Hooters
because they wouldn’t hire a man as a waitress. The guy lost and Hooters won so there’s already a precedence case.

“I say go ahead and hire him/her and let the customers take care of the problem she/he won’t last 5 minutes with the ribbing and taunting he/she would get from a bunch of young drunk guys in Hooters!”

_______

Then he gets to sue for a hostile work environment. Let him work and get small tips? Is there a mandatory gratuity for tables of 8 or more? Would he sue for pooled tips?

Democrats define transgenders as “women who cannot have an abortion.”

It’s not a her.
It’s an it.
And mentally unbalanced.
It needs to be in an institution.
