Scenario: James McFadden was a transsexual who, while still being biologically male, announced to his employer, East Coast Airlines that he intended to dress and act as a woman in preparation for his "surgical sex reassignment." Mr. McFadden was subsequently fired from his pilot's job for refusing to comply with its requirement that he continue to dress and act as a man. McFadden then filed a lawsuit in District Court alleging that East Coast Airlines had conspired to discriminate against him on the basis of sex (now to be female) and that he was treated differently from other women employed by the airline.
