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.

I want your input on this story
Not all discrimination is bad. It means to discern rather than confuse, which is a good thing to do in most cases. I would think the ability to properly distinguish this fruit cake as a man instead of a woman is what most people do anyway before actually saying it. Anything less would just be unnatural.
Man, this guy sounds like a real dick. 🤣
Name of restaurant is Hooters.
Probably should have applied at Bonefish Grill.
Hooters has won these lawsuits over and over.
It’s a show. They can hire or fire based on if someone is attractive. He’s a weird looking dude in a dress.
I’ve got *great* man boobs. They hired me.
Hooters girls are considered entertainers. What particular talents does this guy have other than complaining?
Like I would want to really see this person in the Hooters uniform complete with the short shorts and pantyhose.
The last time I was at hooters they might as well had transgender as the staff had not been hired for their looks.
Headline broken.
“Transvestite Whines That Hooters Refuses to Hire HIM.”
There. I fixed it for them.
A reasonable judge would throw this case out, and order the legal fees of both parties paid by the fool who initiated this waste of the court’s time.
This would certainly cut down the number of frivolous lawsuits.
Sue gun manufacturers for the behavior of a criminal? Pay the legal fees for both sides. Way past time for tort reform.
The fact that Faux Snooze goes along with the mentally ill and calls the homosexual transvestite a female tells you all you need to know about Faux Snooze.
in 150 years of the Kentucky derby one 3 fillys ever won.
Regret in 1915. Genuine Risk in 1980. Winning Colors in 1988.
my point...hooters has a right to use only fillys, Even the Kentucky derby is sexist!
Damn it..... he's a woman and if you don't believe him, you can suck his di*k......
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!! These mentally ill SOB’s just keep pushing the envelope forcing this crap down our throats ENOUGH!!
One perversion battling another. The acceptance of one eventually leads to the others.
the only tip for a stick shift is its own. men go to Hooters for the automatics. DNA testing should be a requirement for employment. maybe that will end the fauxmanship.
