"I honestly felt a little surprised and shocked," Schroer testified during the first day And the former SF soldier is obviously a bit naive....

Sounds like topnotch qualifications for the job. This should be interesting.

How could it sue for sex discrimination when it doesn’t even know what sex it is?

Without the “tuck and roll” job, it is still a man.

The Library of Congress may get its head handed back on a platter. Why? They had already tendered the job, then withdrew the offer. A number of court jurisdictions have already ruled that the Laws on Sexual Discrimination apply to cases like that of Shroer. Schroer did not lose top secret security clearance, after transitioning. So, the court case will be very interesting.

Schroer, of Alexandria, had a prestigious military career that ended in retirement in 2004 after seven years in the Army's Special Forces command.

Right. I’d tell HIM, “look, the person who displayed so many ample qualifications for this position was a man. You’re a woman, so I don’t think you’re the one we’re looking for.”

Now that would be sex discrimination. I would tell him/her that this job is too sensitive and has no place for the gender confused.

“I honestly felt a little surprised and shocked,” Schroer testified during the first day of the trial in her discrimination lawsuit against the Library...
Yes, I am sure your are “surprised”....telling the interviewer, your sexual history, was voluntary, hence you were hoping that you would be rejected, leaving the door open for ligation....nice work if you can get it....

Diane Schroer, a 52-year-old former Army Special Forces commander, testified yesterday in federal court that she was "disappointed and dismayed" when an official at the Library of Congress rescinded a job offer even though she was the star candidate.Unless the job had a gender-specific requirement, I think there is a problem. If Schroer wants to change his/her gender, it should not affect his/her qualifications for the job.
Methinks whomever pulled the job offer has opened a can of worms that they should have left untouched.

Highly qualified candidate, job offer already tendered — the Library of Congress is going to get its head handed to it, and they need to fire the idiot who pulled this stunt and extract all avaialble money (including revocation of pension) to get back at least some of what this fiasco is going to cost.
