"It's All Fun And Games Until A Fake Penis Gets You Fired"
Staci Zaretsky blogs at Above The Law that a woman contemplating a sex change was wearing a fake schlong and got fired when a man contemplating a sex change (who apparently had other fake parts) got to keep his.
The Philly Daily News story is here.
As an employer, I'd be kind of irritated when the workplace becomes about people's prosthetic sex parts rather than the work, whatever kind of sex parts they have or strap on.
Staci helpfully posts the lesson learned:
Fake chicks with real dicks: good. Real chicks with fake dicks: bad.

There's gotta be more. I'm sure it didn't interfere with her doing her job, but how much time did she spend going on about it? Since she couldn't keep her mouth shut, I'll bet there was some show and tell going on.
These days, the company should certainly know there could be a lawsuit if they fired her for simply having the thing on. There's more. And being a nosy old lady I'd love to know what it is.
I know it's unfair of me to think she's an attention whore, but the thought is there all the same.

Ok, anyone else wondering what is in those frozen treats?
The odds of 2 people working at the same place are undergoing the incredibly rare sex change procedure at the same time, would be astronomical.

I suspect there is a whole lot more to this story than is listed. I have two guesses; she told everyone about what she was doing to the point of belligerence, b) her prosthetic was a boner and absurdly noticeable or c) she showed off her prosthetic.

Thousand pardons but what's the difference between a "real chick" and a "fake chick"?

I can think of no situation worse than having a complete understanding of reality - with the exception of one's own gender identity. I know such a person - typically the smartest person in any room, now male after extensive work.
No, not Chaz. Such situations are not funny. Humor is attempted, sometimes savagely, almost always by people who do not understand that gender is not binary.
But when it gets into the public domain like in this case, I can only shake my head and think, "Well, even the, umm, less-than-brilliant can have gender issues."
I don't see this being solved having reached this point.

We could postpics, but Amys site gets snagged by enough work filters as it is

Actually, when you think about it, this story is entirely consistent with how sexual harassment law is commonly applied. Ms. Davis just learned her first lesson about being male.

Maybe she/he was bragging about how long it is.

Radwaste is correct. Gender seems to exist on a continuum. Look up such things as "androgen insensitivity" and "XX male" and "gynecomastia" and "Klinefelter's syndrome."

Hmmmm, forgot to mention "intersexed."

@Amy & lujlp:
I was trying to get at the idea that I don't think whether the girl parts "factory installed" makes a difference if a girl is "real" or "fake".
