Today, the NY Daily News reports that Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has required American Eagle Outfitters to change some of their employee rules, one of which banned cross-dressing.
Though the retailer denied that a clause in their employee handbook which forced its workers to dress in gender specific clothing was discriminatory against the transgendered community, they agreed to settle. In a statement, an American Eagle spokeswoman said:
“To avoid further expense and the distraction of a prolonged argument, [we have] agreed to a compromise settlement in this case, with the understanding that AEO is not admitting to the findings.”
Hm. Your rule book says women can’t dress in men’s clothes and men can’t dress in women’s clothes. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck…
