Re "Hired as a man; fired as a woman" (Metro, Nov. 9): I'm a 61-year-old white, male heterosexual. I know no transgender people. That said, I find the firing of Vandy Beth Glenn for any reason other than professional incompetence deplorable, and an affront to all who more than superficially value the basic tenets of American democracy. That she would be fired because she made her former boss "think about things [he didn't] like to think about" is a travesty of workplace justice and plain ol' common decency.
