Plaintiff wins round in transgender case

She says she didn't get the job because she was born male.

The company says it wasn't that, claiming she misrepresented herself.

In a letter rescinding the job, the employer complained she presented herself as a woman at her interview, but the background check revealed she was a man.

More power to Izza, IMHO, it sounds that's exactly what happened since somebody there already knew she was MTF TS, she put both names on her app, etc, etc. then she got the job rescinded because SSA said she was still a man. it screams discrimination to me, not misrepresentation. i could understand if she presented herself as female in the interview and then showed up to work dressed completely male on the her beginning employment date but i'm quite sure that isn't what happened. She looks like any other woman to me, i see a woman, not a man. May the case proceed!!!!
