SCRANTON, Pa. — A northeastern Pennsylvania woman claims she was fired from her job for wearing a prosthetic penis to work while contemplating gender reassignment.
Pauline Davis filed a federal civil rights lawsuit Wednesday against J&J Snack Foods Corp. over her termination from the company's plant in Moosic, near Scranton.
Davis says she wore the prosthetic to work as a line inspector, informing some co-workers who passed in the information along to management.
