I'm sorry, call me cold hearted, but you get your unit hacked off, grow boobs, and dress as a girl....you gotta laugh at that

[SouthernFreebird]

Geezzzz, I'm gonna dress as a man this Christmas and save myself a fortune at the check-out isle.

Transexuals are weird...

How amusing that a company that pulled its advertising on Dr. Laura's radio and TV shows under pressure from the Gay-stapo should suffer such a suit.

McGrath testified she overheard one worker say to the other, "If one of them passes me, I'm going to hit them with the bat."

Why am I thinking that the worker more likely said, "if one of them makes a pass at me, I'm going to hit them with the bat."

I don't think it's funny. I think it's sad.

"I don't care what they do as long as they don't do it in the streets and scare the horses", to paraphrase an old saw.
Well, these ladies scared the horses.
Why did they come back the next week? To shop at a 50% discount!
Sorry, but this isn't integrating the lunch counters down in the early 60's South.

Probably because it makes more sense.

What weird about them?

My front wheel drive car has a 5 speed one and they get great mileage

There's a photo of each of the lovelies around here somewhere.
Does anyone remember "Bosom Buddies?"

Goodman has countered the accusations by citing an employee report alleging the plaintiffs "came into the store loud and boisterous ... flirting with employees, giggling at employees and laughing at employees."

There is no excuse for being unprofessional. However, if this is account is accurate, they have to share at least half the blame for their treatment.

The experience "made me feel like I was garbage," McGrath, 28, told a jury in Brooklyn federal court.

Sounds like a self-esteem problem.

...a female employee referred to them as "faggots" and "transvestites." "I felt humiliated," she said. "I am not a transvestite."

OK, OK, the employee meant transsexual. Sometimes it can get confusing because all you freaks look the same to us normal people.

He/She/It must have been forced to play tag or dodge-ball in elementary school. Poor baby! Musta lost her/his/it's self esteem.LOL

"I think it's sad."

It is worse than sad. In any other case of severe delusion, a "treatment" program which consided of mutilating the victim and encouraging his delusional behavior would be considered criminal.

LOL! I have no doubts that he/she/it is a product of our public education system.

Each "were born males and during those formative years when they were growing up, they came to understand that their outward gender we know as male or female was not in conformity with their psychological gender," he said.

Bovine Scatology!

God makes us what we are. Take a memo pal, the rest of us are sick and tired of this. I also noticed you chose to sue someone with "Deep Pockets" like Toys R Us and not Danny's 5 and Dime."

I remember these sick perverts complaining vehemently that the LA Police "HUMILITATED!" them by calling them He and that guy when they picked them up for prostitution. The perverted men insisted they be called SHE.

Unbelieveable.

Great point that bears repeating, IMHO.
