It happened at a contractor's office where a man decided to become a woman (not sure if everything was removed at that point). The office didn't fire him, but the women refused to allow him/her to use their restroom since they knew him for years and felt uncomfortable. So s/he was asked to use a restroom on another floor. Not sure what happened afterwards since I quit my company and moved away.

Unless the firm can prove that it had valid grounds, other than for gender reassignment, what they did is classic discrimination and unlawful discrimination. Me suspects that there is a lot more to this than meets the eye.

Probably true, but I doubt they'd be stupid enough to fire someone for being female or undergoing GRS. They'd find some other, more legally acceptable reason to fire her.
I suspect that a lot of HR departments would try their best to keep record of every wrongdoing ever in case they need to fire someone at a moment's notice. I hope this is just baseless paranoia, but I doubt it.
What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.

Quote: gender reassignment.
 As if that were possible. One's genitals do not determine one's gender.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

They certainly have a significant part to play in it.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

At a place I used to work there was a guy who had a sex change.
After the process he came back to work and changed his name to "Amanda"
From that point on whenever I saw him all that went on in my head was "A Man duh!"
Never said it out loud - instant dismissal.
Still, it made me internally chuckle.

What I don't understand is how 'someone' managed to break every pain of glass and plaster the outside with that much excrement so quickly!
