Scandal at McDonald's: Transfrau wins dispute over women's blade!

In a controversial case of discrimination in a McDonald’s branch in Berlin, a trans woman, Kylie Divon, was prevented from using the women's cover from a colleague. The incident occurred in December 2023, but only now, a year later, an agreement was reached. After intensive negotiations before the labor court, Divon receives a severance payment of 16,500 euros, and her employment relationship will be ended "for operational reasons", as krone.at reports.

The conflict escalated after Divon 2020 understood that she wanted to be addressed as a woman. In July 2023, after an operation, her identity as a trans woman was known, but she continued to experience resistance from a Muslim colleague who prevented her from entering the women's dress. This colleague said that it does not matter how Divon looks at the top, she was still "so" below, which further increased the emotional tensions. Although McDonald’s denied the allegations of discrimination, the judge was classified as problematic because his statement was perceived as discriminatory, but it was also found that no "enemy environment" had been created. McDonald’s presented this situation with difficult challenges, especially in view of the recent adaptations of their company guidelines in the USA, such as nd currently noted.
