Transsexual job applicant can pursue Title VII sex bias claim
http://hr.cch.com/news/employment/122007a.aspLABOR & EMPLOYMENT LAW — 12/20/07
Explaining that Title VII prohibits bias against employees, transsexual or not, for failing to act or appear sufficiently masculine or feminine enough for their employer, the district court held that the applicant's transsexuality was not a bar to her sex bias claim under a sex stereotyping theory developed in Price Waterhouse and its progeny. Here, the applicant did not claim her non-selection resulted solely from disclosing her gender dysphoria and her intention to present herself as a woman.
