| Really now. This is some hardcore assclownery. - Quote :
- Trans woman Kate Lynn Blatt says her former employer requested a photograph of her genitalia as a condition of continued employment, after questions arose about her use of a worksite female locker room.
At the time of the October 2007 incident, Blatt was employed by Manpower Inc., a global staffing-services agency with a branch office in Pottsville.
Manpower placed Blatt at Sapa Industrial Extrusions, a manufacturer of aluminum products in Cressona, where she earned about $10 an hour as a temporary factory worker.
Blatt worked at Sapa for about a month, before allegedly being told by a supervisor that she wasn’t physically well enough to work at the job and was no longer needed at Sapa, she said.
After being discharged from Sapa, Blatt said she personally visited Manpower’s branch office in Pottsville, in an attempt to return to work.
Irene Kudziela, branch manager of Manpower’s Pottsville office, allegedly told Blatt that a letter from her surgeon documenting her gender-reassignment surgery — along with a photograph of her genital area — would be necessary before she could return to Sapa. Unacceptable behavior, that. - Quote :
- Kudziela declined to comment for this story.
Frank Koller, human-resources manager at Sapa, also declined to comment. I'll bet. | |

| Wait, you mean showing your employers pictures of your genitalia isn't a standard procedure?! :crap:
But seriously, didn't it strike anyone in the company that asking for nudes is a REALLY bad thing to demand from anyone? | |

| Unless you work in the porn industry, your employer doesn't need to see your genitals. | |

| That's appalling. I'm sure it can't be part of Manpower's normal procedures, I'd guess it to be asshattery on the part of the individual manager. | |

| Dear Manpower, Inc.: Two things: 1. This is sexual harassment. It is illegal. It is also unprofessional. 2. If you want pictures of genitals, Google it. You'll find everything you ever dreamed of. | |

No, seriously, how many flavours of "against the law" is this? Multiple, probably. I do hope she's suing for a big fat chunk of money. | |

| 1: I can't think of any situation, save perhaps jobs involving porn, where it would be acceptable to ask to see someone's genitals. I hope she sues for sexual harassment, on top of everything else that's wrong with this.
2: Excusing for a moment why the hell it's even necessary for her to go through any of this, why isn't a letter from her doctor enough?
3: Who the hell decided that knowing what's under her clothes is necessary if she's just going to work there? | |

Well it wasn't part of their procedures when I worked for them back in the mid 1980s doing secretarial temp work. So yeah, I think we've got a manager who's uncomfortable with the idea of someone who's transgendered working for them. Plus if she's had the surgery, then technically and by definition, she's a woman. She may not have been born a woman, but she's one now, and I would think a letter from her doctor to that effect would suffice. | |

| By the way, everyone, this is exactly why jokes about "trannies" and "traps" aren't funny. | |
