TOMBOYS ARE EQUALLY PROTECTED IN THE CALIFORNIA WORKPLACE

California and federal law protects men and women from all types of gender stereotypes. If you work for a CA employer who tries to fire you, demote you, or not promote you because you do not look the way he thinks a man or woman should look, you need to call an experienced employment attorney. If you are a woman, it is against the law for your employer to discriminate against you because you do not wear dresses or makeup. CA companies may not base employment decisions for jobs on sex stereotypes.

When a tomboy-ish woman who looked more masculine than the other woman working the front desk, was fired from her job at a local hotel for not conforming to sexual stereotypes and for questioning recent policy changes, she stood up for her legal rights. She reported the unlawful behavior and hired a legal team to help her represent her employment rights. The woman understood that sex or gender discrimination is against the law and that she could win thousands of dollars in damages for the discrimination she suffered.
