Miranda Writes... Crossdressers Need Not Apply

GenderAdvocates.com - by Miranda Stevens-Miller

In a stunning ruling late in the afternoon on September 16, Judge Africk, a United States district judge in Louisiana, ruled that crossdressing away from work constitutes grounds for immediate dismissal from employment. The ruling came in the case of Peter Oiler, a truck driver for 21 years with Winn-Dixie, a grocery chain in the South. Oiler had been dismissed because it had been revealed that he occasionally wears women's clothes while off the job and away from work. Once again, a federal judge made the biased judgement that Title VII, the law that prevents discrimination based on sex stereotyping, does not apply to transgendered people.
