The story states "When Woodward filled out one of the forms, he answered a question about his sex by stating that he was female, the lawsuit says. He included the name he was given at birth, which was a female name, it says."
Did Woodward legally change his/her name? If he/she didn't then it seems to me that he/she filled out the job application with a false name. Isn't giving false information on a job application a good reason not to hire someone?
