That is sooooo Creepy!! I would definitely Not want this weird guy working wear I shop!
This story reinforces the fact that stores definitely have the right to say who they want working for them without excessive government interferance from the equal opportunity people. If the store is trying to uphold an image of fashion or beauty they have a right to employee who they think meets their standards. For example, stores like Victorias Secret and such need to emplyee women who can best market and sell their products. And they need to have employees who make the customers comfortable. Just the way restaurants like Hooters need to pick employees that match their corporate image and meet their customers expectations.

What really creeps me out is I live less than a mile from that store.

Of course, don’t tell any gay people that their homosexual tendencies may be manifestations of psychic disturbances. This just means that we are bigots. Of course, after the whole global warming health, this falls right into place. The hoax about gay people, transvestites or transexuals — I can’t keep up with all of this — being completely normal & that society is responsible for all of their woes is just one more example of rationalization, that these people have no responsibility for their oddities.

In this politically correct world, it can as easily be a mental disorder when it suits the purposes… have a transexual up on murder charges and you’ll see an array of PET scans that will choke a horse. Deny one access to a job where they would obviously look like a freak, scaring the customers and you have a civil rights violations becuase they’re “just like everyone else”…. give me a break and call the shots even handedly down the line, just pick one line to follow please??!!

I’m gay and I’m telling you that because I this this trans stuff is BS and is being pushed on us by the same people that push other leftist agendas. This was not an issue that was discussed or debated in the community, just suddenly, over the course of a few years, trans– were in.
I think these people need mental help and not surgery. I also think there is major medical malpractice going on.
This is the question I pose to pro-trans people now: if someone thinks of themselves as being an amputee even though they’re not, do you amputate a healthy limb(s)? People want to do this too, but so far, it’s not been generally accepted. But I’m afraid it’s only a matter of time.

Hi there,
As a crossdresser I’m appalled by Jeremy’s actions. He destroyed property and endangered people’s lives – all because he felt wronged when they didn’t accept his job application. It look as though they judged his character well by refusing him employment.
I’m am disappointed at how badly this will reflect on the transgender community. Most of us are regular hard working folks, and the actions of a few disturbed folks cause society to look on us with caution. I’ve posted some more thoughts here: http://www.crossdresserheaven.com/2008/04/cross-dresser-w.html
I ask that you don’t judge us all by the actions of one man, and that you remain open to making a determination based on our character.
Hugs,
Vanessa

“One transvestite shows signs of being mentally disturbed, therefore many transvestites and transsexuals need psychiatric help.”

If that’s your logic, then you’ve got some SERIOUS thinking to do. That’s like saying all people who do drugs need psychiatric assistance and/or will never amount to anything. Well, why don’t you look at the damn president then?

Exactly. Yeah, there are a lot of freaks out there who aren’t 100% right in the head. A few of them crossdress. Many don’t. But you can’t pin evil on each and every person who likes to dress like the opposite sex got it?

Let me see if I comprehend this story…

You have decided, with little to no information, that this man is/was not in full control of his mental capacities based upon the understanding that he prefers to dress in softer fabrics and brighter colors than is found typically in men’s clothing lines?

What’s more, The b/s excuse that places like “Victorias Secret and such need to emplyee women who can best market and sell their products.” is beyond a shadow of a doubt the most uneducated opinion ever. It has a) nothing to do with mental illness. b) Nothing to do with “Equal Opportunity People” or those who would protect human rights and c) assumes that all women MUST be lesbian and want to buy lingerie from other, sexier women.

Am I the only one that sees the error in the logic? No WONDER a person who very well may be incredibly sane lost his/her control of anger and did something spectacularly dramatic. Confronting bigots, ignorance and poverty may induce volatile reactions.
