A man who lives as a woman sued a would-be employer Monday for allegedly revoking a job offer after realizing she is transgender.

Izza Lopez, 26, filed the lawsuit in federal court against Houston-based River Oaks Imaging and Diagnostic. She alleges employment discrimination.

How's that for wording?  Why not just say a transsexual woman sued a would be employer?

But by then the damage is irreparable.  The story is from then on about what happened to a-man-who-lives-as-a-woman.
