Transgender People Face Employment Discrimination! CT Woman Tells Her Story

Brianna was very accomplished in the corporate world in Connecticut--a top tier executive--before she transitioned from male to female. Here she describes the pain of interviewing for a job after her transition, and the discrimination she encountered for being a trans woman.

@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.)

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

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

@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...

[IntellectualAmy]

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

@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"?

@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 --- 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.
