A transgender woman has filed a lawsuit against a Macy’s store in Torrance, Calif., alleging that managers and co-workers treated her unfairly and humiliated her.
Jazz Araquel sued Macy’s for gender discrimination, harassment, retaliation and wrongful termination in Superior Court.
Her attorney Eric Castelblanco says Macy’s fired Araquel for alleged insubordination and using foul language in 2009.
Araquel says her co-workers harassed her and physically threw her out of the women’s rest room.
A call for comment to Macy’s was not returned.
