A Texas judge signed off on the firing of a woman who wanted to pump breast milk at work, because it was allegedly not related to her gender sex.

1. Judge needs to provide a situation where a man was fired for

pumping his breast for milk ...

2. Talk about incompetence.

"Even if the company's claim that she was fired for abandonment is meant to hide the real reason - she wanted to pump breast-milk - lactation is not pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition." - judge moron

The idiot was appointed by Reagan, apparently. Ugh ugh ugh.

3. this issue has been settled in Canada for, like, decades

Discrimination on the basis of anything having to do with women's unique physical/reproductive characteristics/needs is discrimination on the basis of sex, period.

(Come on, people, this is sex, not gender.)
