Hooters is being sued for not hiring transgender waitress

An upstate NY Hooters location has generated a lawsuit. The individual - who identifies as a woman - wanted to be a Hooters girl but was repeatedly denied employment:

Transgender New Yorker sues Hooters for refusing to hire her — while chain claims she was barred for inappropriate behavior

The complaint sparked protests outside the restaurant

An upstate New York transgender woman is suing Hooters for repeatedly refusing to hire her — while the restaurant claims she was booted for inappropriate behavior starting before she transitioned.

Brandy Livingston told NEWS 10 that she applied three times to work as a tight-topped staffer at the chain’s diner in Colonie — despite alleging that she was harassed by staff there as a regular customer.

“They would use male pronouns — they would refer to me as ‘he,'” alleged Livingston, who only recently transitioned to female.

What do you guys think about this?

Should Hooters have to give this person a chance, who does not look or sound like a female at all?

The last time I checked, Hooters does not have to hire obese women, toothless women or 75 year olds. Why should they have to hire this person?

It's election week, it's on most minds more than necessary and usually.

Speaking of, I can't wait for this shit to die down in several days. I don't care who wins anymore. I'll just be thankful for this to not be shoved in my face from every direction I try to turn.

I say that, but chances are it will continue to be a political shit storm until Jan 20th.

Make it go away SFG

Seems to have become more of a fad than lifestyle for many, just fitting in to a group.

I talked to a person that says the reals once aren't happy with bullshit!

Being transgender in and of its self has nothing to do with politics. YOU make it political. Why can't we just fucking talk about shit without bringing politics into every aspect of our lives.

No one in this thread was talking about politics until you did, and no one else has made this political again until your reply.

It seems like liberals don't want us to be able to enjoy a burger while looking at women's bodies

Just can't let it go, can you? How cunty.

BTW, I'm a registered Republican. So if you're trying to throw a jab at me, then you're barking up the wrong tree.

I'm also a registered Republican, so we probably could find some common ground eating together at Hooters

I find common ground with anyone regardless of political leanings. People are more interesting than whatever their political ideology is .
