Question:
An applicant who had been in the military for twenty-five years, including in Special Forces units, received the unanimous recommendation of the selection committee and was offered a job with the Library of Congress. Over lunch after accepting the position, “David” informed the hiring manager that she was transgender and that she planned to start work as “Diane.” She would be transitioning from male to female and would have sexual reassignment surgery in the future. The hiring manager’s initial reaction was to say “Why in the world would you want to do that?” She later said “Well, you’ve given me a lot to think about. I’ll be in touch.” By phone on the next day, the hiring manager informed “Diane” that “I’ve determined that you are not a good fit, not what we want.” A male with lower interview scores was hired instead. The library cited concerns about possible problems obtaining a security clearance (which was needed for this position and which he had while in the military), possible lack of trustworthiness, the distraction that transitioning might cause, and possible lack of acceptance by congresspersons and military sources. Did the employer discriminate in withdrawing the offer? Why or why not?
