Well I suppose one doesn’t need to study biology to get a degree in journalism.   I supppose it would prevent stupid stories like the one, Jeffery Diamond, ABC News:

A transgendered woman, who lost a job offer because of her sexual status, has won a potentially groundbreaking federal sex discrimination lawsuit.

A federal court judge ruled today that Diane Schroer, a transgendered woman, was discriminated against when the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., offered then rescinded a job because of her sexual status.

Diane Schroer was born David Schroer. and served twenty-five years in the U.S Army, as a male.   Schroer was born a male, is a male and will die a male.   Sex is immutable.

Sadly stupidity is not limited to journalistd   The judge is also mind boogling stupid as well:

The American Civil Liberties Union, which represented Schroer, said Judge James Robertson’s ruling is the first to hold that the federal sex discrimination statute, Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, applies to transgendered people

I’ll grant you that the Library of Congress did indeed discriminate against Schroer.   However is sure was not sexual discrimination.   Schroer was a male when he was hired and he was male when he was fired.
