I bet a whole lot more than that has happened to her, and she deserves whatever she gets after appeals.

That's a bit large for a discrimination settlement. I understand where she's coming from and all that, but that just seems so out of line with compensation offered for other injuries. But I doubt we know all the facts regarding this, so we can obviously expect an enlightened and reasoned discussion from this point forward.

There's no such thing as a sex change operation, any more than a face lift actually makes you younger.

Well there is consequences to get sex changes, did she expect everyone to be cool with it? She is in the army after all. Can't say she deserves half a million, worse things have happened to people on their job, and they don't get squat.

How would it be humiliating to show up in a male uniform?

For all those using the term 'Her' Or 'she'.

PLEASE FARKING STOP IT NOW.

They prefer the term 'IT'.

A guy (well, a girl now) at my old job had that now. VP of HR sent out a very nicely worded email. The email stated it was OK for "Harriet" to now use the women's room and any concerns would be addressed by HR.

That was brilliant by Harriet. That woman will never be fired and will always get her annual performance review right in the middle. Brilliant!

That said, sounds like he was a woman all along.

Pansy.

Where are the pics for the sex change woman from the Telegraph?

Is going to have kids like that man? I bet she could if they use stem cells to grow female reproductive organs.

 
Jim_Callahan 2008-05-25 06:10:02 PM  
Eh, 45k job, 250k settlement, that's what, 5 years' pay? Could have just been roughly the remainder of her employment contract.

Does going from male->neuter not count as a sex change? I always thought catstradi were considered their own group.

 
NanashiKnight 2008-05-25 06:10:58 PM  
In before we get the same logic as the anti gays.

"They knew that if they did it, people would torment them, so they deserve whatever horrific treatment, humiliation and discrimination they get. Ewwwwww."

I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.

Oh hush. Yes, she should have been able to wear a female uniform but I've never noticed many male uniforms to be very masculine so it shouldn't be that much of a big deal and she does not deserve the amount of money she received because of it.

 
Tiberius Gracchus 2008-05-25 06:20:02 PM  
Is the problem really that she got too much money for her situation or is it that losing ones limbs (or what have you) gets compensated far too little?

they got help. It's not like you get to do this on a whim. There's tons of counseling involved, and this is the treatment that's recommended.

Gender is a choice,a state of mind, NOT an organ. The world is changing, and I hope it frightens the unjust and intolerant.
