A Queens Catholic-school teacher says he was fired for breaking a previously unknown 11th commandment — thou shalt not appear too ladylike in class!

Mark Krolikowski claims he was branded as "worse than gay" and relieved of his responsibilities after he admitted to school officials two years ago that he was transgender, according to a new lawsuit.

Krolikowski says that — despite years of accolades from his supervisors at St. Francis Preparatory School in Fresh Meadows — he started being treated like a pariah after a parent became suspicious of his long hair and fancy nails and went to school bosses with her concerns in fall of 2011.

Yikes. This could just as easily be me as I'm growing my hair and nails but I'm not yet out at my school.

I can believe this for at my old Catholic school this would of happened exactly the same way.
