She was taunted by co-workers as a 'man in a dress,' trans woman claims in suit against Circle K
NBC News ^ | 8/22/2019 | Janelle Griffith

An African American transgender woman in the Chicago area is suing national convenience store chain Circle K, alleging she was fired from one of its stores and retaliated against after reporting co-workers' use of racial and transphobic slurs against her.

Judi Brown claims in the lawsuit filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois that a manager and other Circle K employees at the store in Bolingbrook, Illinois, harassed her based on her race and being transgender.

Brown, 26, said she was fired after she complained about the alleged discrimination.

“The discrimination and harassment were traumatizing and needed to be called out," Brown said in a press release by the American Civil Liberties Union, which is representing her. "It was not fair.”

The lawsuit comes a week after the Trump administration filed a brief with the Supreme Court arguing that transgender workers are not protected by civil rights laws.

In Illinois, the state's Human Rights Act includes specific protections for employees on the basis of gender identity and sexual orientation, the ACLU said in its release.

When Brown worked as a Circle K cashier from May 2016 to June 2017, a store manager asked her "offensive and sexually explicit questions" about her romantic partners, sexual and reproductive anatomy and her plans for sexual reassignment surgery, the lawsuit claims.

She also alleges that a manager refused to refer to her by her chosen name in company documents and that another co-worker sometimes used male pronouns to refer to her and called her a “man in a dress.”

A man in a dress is in fact a man in a dress.

What makes her a trans woman? Being a man in a dress is the answer.

Scurry back to the closet Francine...and stay there.

It *IS* a man in a dress. NOTHING, but NOTHING will change that. It will NEVER smell like a woman, no matter what. It will NEVER be a woman, no matter what hormones it takes or butchery it hires on itself.

Brown says he informed his manager both verbally and by text that she would not be able to work 'her scheduled shift' on June 25, 2017, the day of the Chicago Pride Parade. But when she arrived for work the following day, she was told she was no longer employed by Circle K and should leave the premises immediately.

So he refused to show up for his shift.....not unusual at all for no shows to be fired....if it's not authorized you have to be there. Attending a gay parade is not an excuse.

So actually this troubled person is a mentally ill male transvestite.

so this man was called a man in a dress- which he is, and he’s offended? Act like a looney- get called out for being a looney- pretty simple premise- don’t want people stating the truth? Then don’t act weird i n the first place-

This is not a story about a ‘SHE’- it’s a about a “HE” notl inking people stating the truth!
