Trans activists and supporters plan to rally on Sunday, March 14, in front of a J. Crew store in Manhattan to protest hiring discrimination against transgender job applicants at 24 stores in New York City, according to the San Diego Gay & Lesbian News.

The report says that protest organizers have filed a complaint against J. Crew with the New York State Attorney General's Office based on research that found that non-transgender applicants were consistently hired over transgender applicants for positions at J. Crew, even though the applicants were equally qualified.
