http://www.dallasvoice.com/artman/publish/article_11736.phpJamy Spradlin has lost her job for the second time in two years. And once again, Spradlin's gender identity may have played a role in her being fired.
Spradlin was one of two transgender employees at an aircraft maintenance company based in Burleson. But when she arrived at work on Aug. 3, she was told that she was going to be laid off because of the economic slowdown.
That excuse seemed a little suspicious because she said she was in the middle of inspecting one airplane and had three others lined up in the hangar waiting their turn for inspection.
