Izza Lopez, a 26-year-old transgender woman, accepted a job as a scheduler with River Oaks Imaging and Diagnostic, a medical imaging company in Houston. After resigning from her position with her then-current employer, Lopez received a call from River Oaks rescinding the job offer because of her "misrepresentation" of herself as a woman.

Oh I hope they get this company where it hurts. >:(  I'm fairly certain your genitals aren't required to do the job.

I agree. The only jobs where genitals are relevant are the following.

1. Hooker
2. Pornography Star
3. Celular phone billing representative
