When I was trying to purchase a male top one of my manager's told me that I couldn't buy it because "it wasn't for me" (i'm female). I said "ok", but then it hit me that a lesbian co-worker gets to buy boy clothes because she dresses like a boy. And we also have a male co-worker who wears girl t-shirts.
I am not clear if they get discounts on their clothes, but I don't doubt that they do. If they can only buy one gender set of clothes, I will be fine. But if they get to buy both, or flip flop time to time, I will be upset.
But besides, does my manager have the right to address what I buy with my employee discount?
I imagine that if I was a lesbian there would be a lawsuit funded the by the ACLU already against my company, because then I'd have to discuss sexual orientation or gender identity which one shouldn't have to at a job.
How do I address this problem with my manager/company?
And what if they get to buy both and I can't? Isn't that discrimination??
