http://www.4hoteliers.com/4hots_fshw.php?mwi=4970Good Eats, runs a family restaurant in a state which prohibits discrimination in employment based upon gender identity and disability.
Its employees are required to wear name-tags, and to dress the same (black pants and shirt, minimal jewelry, conservative make-up). It has men's and women's restrooms, used by customers and employees alike. An employee (George) tells the manager that he is in transition to becoming a woman, and wants:
* to be addressed as Gail,
* to change her name-tag to read "Gail," and
* to use the women's restroom.
