No Room on the Range For this Gender Rover

Gender-fluid Jaguar Land Rover engineer, 43, who was branded 'IT' for wearing women's clothes by bullying colleagues wins £180,000 after landmark discrimination ruling
-Rose Taylor, 43, was teased and harassed by colleagues at Jaguar in 2017
-She suffered insults and abusive jokes from the hands of cruel co-workers
-One colleague asked if her outfit 'was for Halloween' and referred to her as 'it'
An employment tribunal heard how she suffered insults and abusive jokes at the hands of cruel co-workers after she started wearing women's clothes.
One female co-worker also described her as 'not normal' when she announced she was transitioning and she was also told to use the staff disabled toilet.
Another asked her why the 'top half didn't match the bottom half' while a different colleague said: 'I was checking out your dress, saw it was you and my jaw dropped.'
The hearing was told how on one occasion a male worker laughed at her when she suggested he wear a rainbow lanyard - a symbol of support for LGBTQ pride.
Ms Taylor claimed constructive dismissal and victimisation on the basis she had suffered discrimination because of gender reassignment and sexual orientation.
And last month she won her claim against the Midlands manufacturing giant after an employment judge in Birmingham ruled in her favour.
The victory is believed to be the first successful claim of its kind and was hailed as a 'milestone' in recognising the rights of non-binary and gender fluid people.
Until now, there was uncertainty over whether The Equality Act protected those who who fell into the gender fluid/non-binary category.
Jaguar Land Rover argued it did not but an employment judge said it was clear 'gender is a spectrum' and that it was 'beyond any doubt' Ms Taylor should be protected.
Today Ms Taylor wiped away tears as she was awarded a £180,000 payout from her former employer and told the judge: 'It's still all sinking in.'
Employment Judge Pauline Hughes said: 'Hopefully your case will bring about real change.

I'd dress like a girl for $20. I don't need $180,000. I'm not a proud it/they.

I can’t tell from the article but was Rose born with a penis or no?

Alright so where is this judge, so I can definitely avoid them forever. I cant imagine being prosecuted under such things.

One more reason to not hire people that are going to be disruptive

The Asian is physically hotter but I like the spunk of that blonde.

I laughed when I read that they called it “it.”

What kind of numbnuts would be making fun of a hot Asian chick. I’d be trying to hit that.

Not seeing this crap at the office is one of the perks of working from home.
