If they want to engage in these tactics, that is something for the court to consider. However, MFC might have a legal requirement not to discriminate against Transgender individuals. I haven't spent enough time looking over the history of other cases, but I do know that both age and gender are heavily contested employment qualities that can land you in a lot of trouble for noncompliance.

My Free Cams is free to say "you can't work on this site because you're ugly", but legally, I don't think it's sound for them to say "you can't work on this site because you're transgender".

I guess during the week I'll head on up to my Uni's law library and clug out some thick dusty books. Personally, I just find the concept interesting, that's all.
