Good 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.
