Woman Fired For Dressing Like a Man at Work

Woman Fired For Dressing Like a Man at Work
Mar 11, 2016 By eChinacities.com

Yesterday, a 28 year old woman told reporters that she was fired from her job at a medical center in Guiyang because she wore men’s clothing to work.

“They said I was gay and was damaging the image of the company”, the woman told reporters. She explained that ever since junior high, she has always leaned towards wearing men’s clothes and men’s hairstyles.

On March 7, the woman took the matter to the Guiyang Yunyan district Labour Arbitration Commission, hoping to get fair treatment and compensation.

The medical center’s HR director told reporters that the woman’s job involved frequent meetings with other departments and companies, including managers and bosses, so the company image requirements needed to be met. However, the woman told reporters that when she was first hired last April, no requirements for a dress code were stated.

Men parade around with women's handbags and no one batters an eyelid. Chick wears a suit and gets sacked.

It's honkies, not honks. Please, if you are trying to be racist at least get your slurs correct. This is just laziness. Cracker is also an acceptable term.

Good for China. It is great that traditional roles and values have value here. I'm sure that dyke can get asylum in Obama's gamerica. Look at America it is a cesspool.

Yeah, because China is a Christian country, and the oppression of homosexuality is by the officially Christian Party.

Lord_hanson is right, China was traditionally very tolerating of homosexuality, this until the late Qing when Western values of that time entered the Guo. Though only under Mao the hatred for homosexuals became mainstream among the masses. Ironically enough, those proud Chinese who fight against "depraved Western values of LGBT" are promoting other Western values.

You are incorrect. China has never embraced open homosexuality ever.
