Transgender Pizza Employee Said She Quit Over Discrimination
KIRO-TV ^ | Tuesday, July 15, 2014 | David Ham

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.

1) So he quit. Big deal. GTFO.
2) The customer was polite and simply refused to participate in this loser's self-deception. Tough.
3) There is no such word as "misgendered."
4) If I walked into a pizza shop that had a freak like that working the front of the house, I'd inform everyone within earshot that I was appalled and walk out. Then I'd let the management decide whether they existed to sell pizza or PC.

If I walk into a restaurant and find a he that is really a she (or vice versa) - I spin on my heels and go back to the exit - like the time in Chicago when I entered a sandwich shop - the guy serving customers has wires and antennas stuck into every orifice on his face. Uh uh, no way am I going to let “that” touch food intended to enter my body.

They can harass television personalities like Phil Robertson and restaurants like Chick-Fil-it, but the bottom line is that it is morally conscious customers like you and I that are the ultimate decision makers. We vote with our wallets and the ownership notices.

That freaky stapled guy wasn’t there the next time I walked by that shop, though I never went back in. If the owner could hire something like that to work his front counter, no telling what monstrosity’s he has in back.

This is so freakin’ ridiculous. I am sure other employees are sick and tired of walking on eggshells for this little drama queen.

Hmm....if the employee has a contract and turns in a resignation, the resignation can be refused and the employee fired.

However that is usually not the case with pizza shops.

If you are TG and you work for me, if you have a problem with someone calling youthe gender you were born with, I’d tell you that you are the one with a problem.

Lord a mercy. Some people's lives are just too easy.

Send her to Sudan with a cross necklace and see what sorts of things she's called there.

Forcing me to affirmatively participate in another person’s delusion will not cure their mental illness.

I’m confused — wasn’t his pickle wacked off so that he could become a she and be addressed as ma’am?

X or Y chromosome? He can pretend to be whatever he wants to be, but the chromosomes don’t lie.

I used to own a pizza parlor many moons ago and I found that transgendered pizzas made the worst employees.

Sorry there is no way I could confuse that as even an ugly woman, even with drug induced man tits.

Since the owner is going to force sensitivity training on his normal employees, it sounds like a good restaurant to avoid.

Easy fix; just tatoo ‘dyke’ on your forehead and all will be well. No more mischaracterizations of one’s gender!
