Transgender woman says she was fired hour after winning KFC job in Virginia
A Richmond woman, Georgia Carter, was offered a job at a local KFC, only to have the offer immediately rescinded when the hiring manager saw from her driver’s license (which still lists her as male) that she is transgender. She was told that she couldn’t have the job because the management “didn’t know which bathroom she could use.” The story broke yesterday, February 27th 2016.
In Virginia, there aren’t currently any laws which protect transgender people from discrimination on the job.
I’ll keep an eye on the story as it develops, for ways to support Ms. Carter and to demonstrate to Virginia’s hiring managers that this is unacceptable. If you hear of something, send it on in.
“Why do trans women have fundraisers lol just get a job” they say….
Hometown representing at its finest.
@reincarnate00, would you mind letting us know how this one plays out?
“The manager also says if Carter changes her gender to female on her license, they’ll reconsider her for the position.”
Huh. It’s almost like normal people don’t want a fucking cross dresser selling them food or sharing their bathroom.
Whoda thunk it.
except she’s not a crossdresser you stupid cunt. she’s a woman
It clearly states on his drivers license that he’s a man.
If it states on my birth certificate that I’m a Caucasian, but I say I identify as black… I should be entitled to NAACP scholarships, right?
good god you are retarded, that’s not how being transgender works you stupid cunt
she’s a woman because her brain is literally female.
a brain, you know that thing you lack!
not only that mine says Caucasian and it’s fucking wrong too, much like your retarded ass people make assumptions on surface levels.
i know you retards hate science but

Gosh, look at all these insults, specifically “retard” … I would think someone who’s so progressives and accepting wouldn’t want to make light of people who are mentally handicapped, guess not.
So what you’re saying is, you can feel as though your assigned gender is different than what your biology says, but you can’t feel as though you’re a different race?
I guess since I’m a retard who doesn’t understand science, like you know, biology, maybe you can explain to me how that works.
I’m not progressive you retard. I just don’t ignore science like you. Anyone who ignores facts is a retard.
Being mentally handicapped doesn’t make you retarded it makes you handicapped.
It is literally like your brain running a system check and finding errors because your brain says female but your body says different. Hence why most say they’re a woman trapped in a man’s body. For some it occurs at a really young age and others it doesn’t occur until puberty when secondary sex characteristics show.The brain is also a part of biology. You would know this if you actually used hours for anything more than a hat rack.
Not only are you scientifically retarded your socially retarded.
Even if she’s just a Crossdresser there is nothing that being a crossdresser could do to harm anyone!But I know how transphobic retards like you hate facts
“I just don’t ignore science like you.”
Do you fucking hear yourself? Hahahaha
My DNA says I’m a male. My dick says I’m a male.
But because someone feels feminine they are then a female. Despite what science actually says about their sex.
If you can feel like another gender despite what science has proven you to be, you can be a different race.
You’re literally so fucking stupid. The chemistry in your brain is science, yes. But so is the reason a MALE GROWS A FUCKING PENIS!
Good for you being cisgender but guess what not everyone is!
I already proved you retards wrong with hard cold facts.People grow useless appendages all the time. People are born twins. People are born intersex. People are born mentally ill. These people all need help to be normal. The best way to help transpeople is to transition until the feelings of dysphoria go away! Usually this means full gender reassignment surgery.
Gender and sex are two different things you retard!
God!
Also it’s your chromosomes that say you’re male. But you would know that if you had better than a six grade health class under your belt.
Science has actually proven the existence and the reason for transgender people.
There is no proof of your buddy’s bullshit attempt at comparing gender with race.See. But here’s the thing.
If you feel like you’re a different gender, you can feel the same way about your race. If you have feelings that you’re something you’re not that’s a mental disorder. And you’re trying to change science to accommodate someone’s feelings. That’s like putting someone on antidepressants. Sure they may feel better but that doesn’t mean they aren’t depressed anymore. It’s like headache medication, it masks the problem.Gender and sex are definitely the same thing. You can identify as a female when in fact you’re still a fucking male.
So if chromosomes say I’m male, how the fuck are you going to change that to make me female?! YOURE NOT.
YOU CANNOT PAINT AN APPLE ORANGE AND CALL IT A FUCKING ORANGE.
This is going to sound ridiculous to you but bear with me.
You, being a male, have a wide variety of instincts directly related to being a male. They inform you on how to act, what to do, and what things appeal to you.
Women have the same thing. A set of coded instructions they’re born with, kind of like a gender oriented program, that tells them how to best maximize the advantages their body provides them.
Think of it like how you’re likely not attracted to men in any capacity. I’m not. I have never thought “Wow, I think that dudes hot” in my entire life. I have never wanted to be in a relationship with a man, have sex with a man. Hell, I don’t even especially like talking to men.
Part of that, my sexual orientation, is based on instincts that I was born with. Just like you. You’ll live and die a straight man. I will too.
Now, let’s suppose the coded instructions that we were born with that told us we should be attracted to women were instead the coded instructions women are typically born with that inform them to be attracted to men.
Voila… suddenly we’re gay dudes.
Transgenderism is a similar thing. Transgender men and women are people born with the instincts of the opposite gender.
A good example is the case of David Reimer:
David Reimer was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He was originally named Bruce, and his identical twin was named Brian. At the age of six months, after concern was raised about how both of them urinated, the boys were diagnosed with phimosis. They were referred for circumcision at the age of seven months. On April 27, 1966, a urologist performed the operation using the unconventional method of cauterization,[4][5] but the procedure did not go as doctors had planned, and Bruce’s penis was burned beyond surgical repair. The doctors chose not to operate on Brian, whose phimosis soon cleared without surgical intervention.[6]
The parents, concerned about their son’s prospects for future happiness and sexual function without a penis, took him to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore to see John Money, a psychologist who was developing a reputation as a pioneer in the field of sexual development and gender identity, based on his work with intersex patients. Money was a prominent proponent of the “theory of Gender Neutrality"—that gender identity developed primarily as a result of social learning from early childhood and that it could be changed with the appropriate behavioral interventions. The Reimers had seen Money being interviewed on the Canadian news program This Hour Has Seven Days, during which he discussed his theories about gender. He and physicians working with young children born with abnormal genitalia believed that a penis could not be replaced but that a functional vagina could be constructed surgically, claiming that Reimer would be more likely to achieve successful, functional sexual maturation as a girl than as a boy.[4] For Money, a case where identical twin boys were involved where one could be raised as a girl provided a perfect test of his theories.[7][8]
Money and the Hopkins team persuaded the baby’s parents that sex reassignment surgery would be in Reimer’s best interest. At the age of 22 months, baby Bruce underwent an orchidectomy, in which his testes were surgically removed. He was reassigned to beraised as female and given the name Brenda. Psychological support for the reassignment and surgery was provided by John Money, who continued to see Reimer annually for about a decade for consultations and to assess the outcome. This reassignment was considered an especially valid test case of the social learning concept of gender identity for two reasons: First, Reimer’s identical twin brother, Brian, made an ideal control because the brothers shared genes, family environments, and the intrauterine environment. Second, this was reputed to be the first reassignment and reconstruction performed on a male infant who had no abnormality of prenatal or early postnatal sexual differentiation.
Reimer said that Dr. Money forced the twins to rehearse sexual acts involving “thrusting movements”, with David playing the bottom role. Reimer said that, as a child, he had to get “down on all fours” with his brother, Brian Reimer, “up behind his butt” with “his crotch against” his “buttocks”. Reimer said that Dr. Money forced David, in another sexual position, to have his “legs spread” with Brian on top. Reimer said that Dr. Money also forced the children to take their “clothes off” and engage in “genital inspections”. On at “least one occasion”, Reimer said that Dr. Money took a photograph of the two children doing these activities. Dr. Money’s rationale for these various treatments was his belief that “childhood ‘sexual rehearsal play’” was important for a “healthy adult gender identity”.[4]
For several years, Money reported on Reimer’s progress as the “John/Joan case”, describing apparently successful female gender development and using this case to support the feasibility of sex reassignment and surgical reconstruction even in non-intersex cases. Money wrote, “The child’s behavior is so clearly that of an active little girl and so different from the boyish ways of her twin brother.” Notes by a former student at Money’s lab state that, during the follow-up visits, which occurred only once a year, Reimer’s parents routinely lied to lab staff about the success of the procedure. The twin brother, Brian, later developed schizophrenia.[8]
Reimer had experienced the visits to Baltimore as traumatic rather than therapeutic, and when Dr. Money started pressuring the family to bring him in for surgery during which a vagina would be constructed, the family discontinued the follow-up visits. From 22 months into his teenaged years, Reimer urinated through a hole that surgeons had placed in the abdomen. Estrogen was given during adolescence to induce breast development.
His case came to international attention in 1997 when he told his story to Milton Diamond, an academic sexologist who persuaded Reimer to allow him to report the outcome in order to dissuade physicians from treating other infants similarly.[2] Soon after, Reimer went public with his story, and John Colapinto published a widely disseminated and influential account in Rolling Stone magazine in December 1997.[9]
This was later expanded into a full-length book As Nature Made Him: The Boy Who Was Raised as a Girl,[4] in which Colapinto described how—contrary to Money’s reports—when living as Brenda, Reimer did not identify as a girl. He was ostracized and bullied by peers, and neither frilly dresses (which he was forced to wear during frigid Winnipeg winters)[10] nor female hormones made him feel female. By the age of 13, Reimer was experiencing suicidal depression, and he told his parents he would take his own life if they made him see John Money again. Finally on March 14th, 1980, Reimer’s parents told him the truth about his gender reassignment, following advice from Reimer’s endocrinologist and psychiatrist. At 14, having been informed of his past by his father, Reimer decided to assume a male gender identity, calling himself David. By 1987, Reimer had undergone treatment to reverse the reassignment, including testosterone injections, a double mastectomy, and two phalloplasty operations. On September 22, 1990, he married Jane Fontaine and became a stepfather to her three children.
This boy, who was raised as a girl from birth in every conceivable manner, still *knew* internally that he was a boy. Despite hormones. Despite having his genitals destroyed. Despite being forced to wear frilly dresses and being constantly told he was a girl… still felt, internally, that he was male.
He commit suicide.
I understand your skepticism. If I was you I’d be pretty skeptical too. Hell, don’t take my word for it, research this stuff yourself…
If you can find convincing evidence it’s not I’ll listen respectfully but based on all the research I’ve done transgenderism is a very real thing.
