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.

“He also is planning sensitivity training for all Pagliacci employees because of the incident”

If I ever happen to be in the Seattle area I know where I won’t be eating pizza.

So, the way this reads none of the employees said or did anything, the heshe quit because's its feelings got hurt, but yet thinks it can sue? And the owner's buying into the lunacy?

The customer was at the salad condiments bar trying to figure out where someone hid the salami.

Maybe he wanted to get his salad tossed.

Because he knows his class is inferior to transgender.

This Dylan Paul person

How does it feel?
To be on your own?
Your direction unknown?
With an inconvenient bone?

When I had a day-care (kids under 5), we ordered pizza
and the delivery person came and one of the kids looked at me and said (in front of the person), “Is she a girl or a boy”? I looked at the delivery person and said, “how much
do I owe you...
It makes you wonder if these people get mad at the little
children too!

It's the same kind of outrage you can expect when someone guesses wrong when looking at somebody's Halloween costume.

"I'm not Alanis Morissette! I'm Captain Jack Sparrow! You, know that guy Johnny Depp played!"

"She" has a baritone voice; and in the video, "she" has boobies but very masculine movements and shoulders.

The “it” in the article wouldn’t have been so shocked if it hadn’t become accustomed to people nursemaiding and humoring its mental illness.

“claims to have been fired after quitting?
How does that work?”

It’s the John Kerry gambit - He voted for it before he voted against it.

I think the last line of those lyrics are especially pertinent to this story...

What behavior? Laughing derisively at absurd posturing?
