"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.

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yesterday in federal court that she was "disappointed and dismayed" when an official at the Library of Congress rescinded a job offer even though she was the star candidate.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.

The above sentence leads me to believe Schroer had an average career and he never earned an SF tab. No rank was given and the he seems to be quite weaselly on his service w/ SF.

Lastly, why do people who believe they are Jesus, Napoleon, or a fish, get medication, counseling, or a padded room while people who believe they are the opposite gender get surgery and hormone treatments? I CAN understand rare cases of hermaphroditism causing people to perhaps have the physical characteristics of one gender, but the emotional/mental of another that may require them to get surgery, etc. But I cannot take seriously anyone who is unabiguously one gender for decades and then wants to switch. They're just crazy.

If a company can decline to hire someone because they smoke cigarrettes (on their own time even) then certainly they should be able to decline based on someone doing such a radical self-mutilation. This person will have all sorts of potential medical (not to mention psychological) issues in the future, which is the excuse given for not hiring smokers.
