SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Transportation Security Administration managers at Los Angeles International Airport are undergoing mandatory sensitivity training after a transgender employee alleged she was ordered to dress like a man, pat down male passengers and use the men's restroom.

Ashley Yang, 29, who spent two years as a security checkpoint screener at LAX, was fired last summer after co-workers observed her using the women's room, according to a copy of her termination letter obtained by The Associated Press. She contested the firing, resulting in a settlement that mandated the training.

Will they train them all to be transgendered?

[TSgt]

So they can molest children but have to be sensitive to drag queens?

Ashley or whatever is one of the goofiest and ugliest humans I have ever seen.

Just when you think things couldn’t get more ‘effed up at the airport.....they do.

[Slump Tester]

If "she" had a tak-a-dick-offa-me, then "she" should use the lady's room.

I sure don't want "her" using any toilets I might.

new world religion and all.

NOTE TO SELF: given a choice of flying through LAX, or flying through DFW... choose DFW.

That’s so gay!

I’m guessing that scene in “Crocodile Dundee” won’t be part of their training.

[Beaten Valve]

I’ve got a buddy who works at LAX.

He’ll give these drag queens a grope that they won’t forget...

[KrisKrinkle]

....a civil rights complaint. "She was asked to hide who she was just in order to earn a living."

Like that's not true of a lot of other people.

[RetiredTexasVet]

You would think that freaks would know how to act freaky without training. Pretty soon queers will need queer training.

Did ?she? have a penis? If so, ?she? is a male, and should not be allowed to use the women’s restroom or do the physical search of women passengers, period.

[SoldierDad]

Wow! After reading the article at the link, I’m of the opinion that, not only should she have been fired, but there should be a policy of not hiring these people in the first place.

[Jack Hammer]

Just because you cut off your penis and wear make-up, it does NOT make you a woman, ‘Ashley.’

[BlackElk]

Ummmmm, another concession to the wierdo-American community. This is just soooo special!!!!

[markomalley]

Maybe they'll get the official USDA training, including:

Of course, being the T&A organization, they will be instructed to pay special attention to those who are extremist "homosexualists."

geez.
