A transsexual sued the Library of Congress over job discrimination and won -- and now taxpayers are footing the bill.
Diane Schroer -- formerly known as David Schroer -- was rejected for a job the day after the former Army colonel told a Library of Congress official about his gender-change surgery. The judge has awarded Schroer nearly a half-million dollars in damages. Matt Barber of Liberty Counsel believes a person who changes gender should not be protected under anti-discrimination laws. "This gentleman has gone through surgical self-mutilation in order to try to be something that he is not, and the Library of Congress looked to his mental state, his disorder, in a decision about employment," Barber explains. The Liberty Counsel spokesman contends the case portends the future as Congress works to approve the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, often referred to as ENDA. "This, of course, opens the floodgates for locker rooms and bathrooms for men -- dressed up like women with an Adams apple the size of a golf ball and crammed into a mini-skirt like a 10-pound turkey in a 5-pound bag -- to enter into a locker room and shower, whether or not he's undergone self-mutilation surgery," he exclaims. "Absolute insanity." The American Civil Liberties Union argued the case on behalf of Schroer, who formerly directed a classified group in Special Forces that tracked and targeted terrorists.
