Woman Sues Over RIght To Wear Male Prosthetic

In an interesting case that must be a first for the Court in which is has been filed, a Pennsylvania woman has filed a discrimination lawsuit against her former employer. However, this particular suit is not of the variety that is usually seen; the woman in this case is alleging she was fired for wearing male prosthetic genitalia to work.

The suit alleges that the biological woman said she wore the device under her clothing because she is "considering a gender change." Obviously, this is not a small decision that one might make so it seems reasonable that an individual such as the woman in question may want to try the change out before making it permanent.

The woman also claims that a male employee in her office, who was considering making a gender change, had worn "female prosthetic devices" to work while taking hormone treatments and was not terminated. The suit is seeking unspecified damages
