NEW YORK, July 29 (Reuters) - A woman who worked as an executive housekeeper for a New York City couple is suing them for discrimination after they fired her when they discovered that she was transgender.
A difficult case. Someone is telling untruths, but who?

I'm taking the former housekeeper's side on this one.
My feeling as well, but my emotions cloud it.
Why fire a house keeper for being TG? Or gay, or coloured, or none of the latter. I would have thought the only reason was that they were either dishonest, as in theft, or incompetent.
Strange world

I believe the house keeper. 'Disgusting' and 'freak' is typical slurs used by trans phobic sickos. I hope the house keeper wins big time!
I don't think she will. :(
Most situations like this are exempt from discrimination laws.
