Transgender People Face Employment Discrimination! CT Woman Tells Her Story

[bmatt85]

I think she was born as female but in male body. So i do not understand how she supposed to act as male if she is a female. it is not like she is cross dresses, she is transgender!!!

[lou4brew]

sorry, you are born a male, act as a male at work. What you do on your free time is your business. If you were fired/not hired because what you did off the clock I would have sympathy for you,but I don't Look, I'm into the S&M scene but I sure as hell don't bring that to work. Business is Business and you just have to adapt

@lou4brew gender identity is different what u like doing in bed!wikepedia is very good to learn new things!

[musclemusicbox]

@lou4brew S&M Involves Whips and Chains... You cannot compare that to Brianna's situation. It is just very mean of you to post something so hateful when I am sure you weren't "born into" the same trials and tribulations that Brianna has to go thru (Among them dealing with prejudiced, ignorant people who are too quick to judge based on their own Fear.)

And -- 'She' would win. Fortunately, enough that MAN passed my TEST and would serve as presedente of 'my' company. BEV

This is sadly a common occurrence and it really does happen. And even worse, it can happen by people who sport the 'Equal Opportunity' flag to the hilt. It is so frustrating and upsetting for me to see so many highly qualified, professional trans-women out there that get this. Bigotry is still in place and is sadly, alive and well no matter how many laws we supposedly have. I succeeded by forming my own business and was given a job from one contract which proved my ability.

@IntellectualAmy --- Oh Amy? How refreshing that you haven't insulted this trans-activist for daring to speak out about imporant issues. This woman's story is precisely why people like me do the things we do, whether it's as an individual or on behalf of an organization, despite the personal attacks and other "outrageous slings and arrows" tossed back at us by certain know-it-all internet prima donnas. Have a nice day.

[IntellectualAmy]

@tgcyndi - sorry, I don't argue with aggressive 'panty-wearers' . I only support people who have transitioned as 'Women'. Not people who hide and don't face the real issues such as this person evidently has - a real professional, qualified, not some 'showbiz' panty-wearer. Now, if I recall it rightly it was you who began all this with a sarcastic 'know it all' remark. Not me. Now do get lost, 'TG' Cyndi and have fun with the fetish lot. We've nothing more to talk about ...

[tgcyndi]

@IntellectualAmy It's sadly predictable that some frightened little self-important wanna-be would use the comment section of another person's video to lash out at the people they are threatened by. Your childish name-calling speaks volumes about you, particularly in a venue such as this. Out of respect for the woman in the vid, one would expect that if you've really got something to say to me, you would say it directly. Clearly that's not your style (and I use the term loosely), is it "Amy"?

[IntellectualAmy]

@tgcyndi - No business like showbusiness, Miss Richards. Oh, caught your photo on Livejournal. Hope you are well :)

[IntellectualAmy]

@tgcyndi - Well, since you are in Chicago and I am currently flitting about Europe its blatantly obvious I can't talk to you directly. And yes, I finally caught your photos on Livejournal and your Yahoo one. So at last, nice to see Cyndi R. I'd take back your rude remarks about whom is attractive and who isn't. Not as if that jibe bothered me...
