That's nothing. I worked for a company whereby the Owner had a policy that everybody must wear underwear. Okay. Well, the Sales Manager (a man) failed to wear underwear one day (don't ask me how the owner discovered this) and as punishment he had to dress like a woman for work the next day. Ha! That’s nothing.

Was a suggestion made, a prescription given to the employee, the actual medication, what? When this is determined, then the rest of the claim can be sorted out.

I don't know how the employee could allege that his boss made him take female horomones - what did the manager do force feed the employee the pills. And then there may be something else going on here that suppose to be secret to the both of them. I think the employee in this story should seek some professional help - his alternate personality is coming out of the closet.

Hopefully, the courts do not take this seriously as it will reflect badly on our court system. Too bad the EEOC had to waste time on it in the first place. Some people should be fined for making false accusations and wasting our governments time! It takes all kinds. I do agree with Beth. Very Sad…

I guess I have to agree - this is one of the most bizarre... I think this guy must be a bit confused, is feeling ashamed of it, and is looking for someone to take the blame. Sad. Huh?

How would female hormones help a guy to do his job better? Why did he "have to" start wearing women's clothes? Is this a joke? Did I miss something?
