QuoteDespite Robertson's earlier ruling on the sex stereotyping claim, District of Columbia U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Taylor, representing the library, contends, "First and foremost, transsexuals like [Schroer] are not a protected class under Title VII." Gender identity disorder, he adds, is not akin to a failure to conform to sex stereotypes, "nor does an allegation that a transsexual does not conform to sex stereotypes give rise to a cause of action under Title VII."
There was no discrimination, he said in the government's replies. The library rescinded the offer, he argues, because, among other concerns, Schroer would have to undergo a lengthy security check; might be unable to maintain high-level military intelligence contacts; and might not be viewed as credible by members of Congress.
So those reasons she was allegedly not hired after being hired. She had been through the security checks and had passed them with every new job she had in the military. They don't just do one every 25 years. I know, I had 2 in 4 years in the late 70s to the early 80s.
And what would she be unable to maintain those high-level contacts and why would MOCs show her less credibility now rather than before? Because she had changed sex and was being sexually dismissed by the goobers who wouldn't "feel comfortable?"
It's about time someone won one of these damned cases and made plain exactly what the "government's" real arguments are: fear of sex and sexual orientation.
This is the place the bozos should be leading rather than simply making jejune excuses for their own prejudices. These same arguments could have been, and maybe were, used in 1952 about people of color!!
