Dylan Paul, 24, said she was more than hurt when she complained that a customer mis-gendered her while she was working last Monday.
“I was working the salad station near the entrance to the restaurant of Broadway Paggliacci’s. Working there, your function is greeting customers, taking and making salad orders, and bidding customers farewell. It was in the evening on a shift I’d picked up from a coworker when I was saying goodbye to one of our regular customers. He returned the gesture, misgendering me as “man,” which isn’t something too unusual in my life.
I corrected him, “It’s ma’am actaully.” He didn’t hear me clearly the first time, and asked me to repeat myself.
"Ma’am, I’m not a man." He heard me clearly that time, and laughed at me before going about topping his pizza with the condiments we keep by the door. I had a few moments to say something, but I was too in shock to respond. On my way home I resolved to say something to him if I saw him in the restaurant again,” said Paul in her blog. Paul was upset that her co-workers and supervisors did not try to take her side in the situation so she decided to quit and then afterwards, she complained about the situation and said she was later fired for standing up for her beliefs. The owner of Pagliacci’s Matt Galvin said when he heard about the situation he took full responsibility and wanted to make sure that type of behavior was not acceptable at any of the Pagliacci’s.
He offered to re-hire Paul but she has not decided if she would go back.
He also is planning sensitivity training for all Pagliacci employees because of the incident.
Paul said this incident shows that the problem of transgender discrimination is a larger problem in workplaces across Seattle.
“Are liberals always looking for ways to be outraged???”
They are trained to look for outrage. A friend called it “spring-loaded in the pissed-off position.”
Those are the fatty acids with the unusually large Adam's Apples.
I have met a few of these people. And, of those I have met, they appear to be the opposite sex of what they want us to think they are. Trans whatever “women”,look like men in drag. Which is not surprising since they were born male.
Considering that they appear to be the opposite of what they want us to think they are, they have a lot of audacity to be angry at us for not correctly understanding what “gender identity” they are trying to convey to us. They are the ones who are deciding to go against how the rest of society construes gender appearances. Yet the 99% of us who aren’t with it in this area are the bad guys. Go figure.
I'd like to think the customer was God stopping in for a pizza and to set the dude straight.
“Dylan Paul, 24, said it was more than hurt when it complained that a customer mis-gendered it while it was working last Monday.”
I need an app that corrects she to he and he to she whenever the word transgender appears in an article.
If a person can self-identify as any of 54 different “genders” these days, I should be free to choose which of those 54 “genders” I feel like associating them with.
If they want to play Let’s Pretend, that’s their business. It is not, however, reasonable to expect us to move to the Kingdom of Make-Believe with them.
I had the concessions guy at a movie thater refer to me as a boy, and I burst into tears, as I am a girl, but I was 7 years old at the time. Get over it, you aren’t a woman just because you act like a bitch.
bazinga!
Everyone should watch the video at the source...on what planet can these people pass as women?
Helenkellerite?
Which is why it's so upset.
Let's enjoy the situation while we can, as there will undoubtedly be a push to criminalize the rest of us laughing at their (is that the proper pronoun here?) foolishness.
If I see a shemale working a at a restaurant, I’m pulling a U-turn and going elsewhere.
This is ridiculous.
They cannot force people to share their delusions. I am sure they will try though.
In CA, and probably in other dialects of American English, "you guys" refers to a group of people, much like the Southern "y'all."
claims to have been fired after quitting?
How does that work?
Yes it does
Don't want no he-she handling my food. Especially one who paid to have HIS genitals mutilated.
exactly
They will try to force it though
Suppose this freak committed a crime and left behind DNA that was tested. Based on those test results, would the police be looking for a man or a woman?
