Fired for skimpy schoolgirl outfit, trans school bus driver sues

A transgender school bus driver from Canada was fired after outraged parents reported his outfit choice, and now he’s suing.

The driver, identified only as “L.Z.,” was seen on video wearing a skimpy, pink schoolgirl outfit. White knee-high stockings, a frilly top and a short pink skirt hardly seemed like an appropriate choice to onlooking parents, who asked what in the world the man was thinking.

Watch:

“I do this every day, and I don’t think there is an issue. What’s the problem?” the driver said in the video.

“L.Z. also reportedly placed a placard reading ‘Lolita Line’ in the window of the bus, in an apparent reference to the infamous 1955 Vladimir Nabokov novel about a middle-aged man sexually obsessed with a 12-year-old girl,” the New York Post reported.

For those keeping track at home, Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet was nicknamed the “Lolita Express,” which is not something that inspires a lot of confidence in the safety of the children who ride the bus.

The driver was fired, but quickly filed a lawsuit against the school and bus company, complaining of “discrimination with respect to employment because of ethnic origin, gender identity, and sex.” Essentially, he’s saying his status as a “transgender woman” sparked the firing, rather than his choice to wear a fetish outfit to his job working with children.

For those wondering why the driver is only referred to by initials, it’s because his request to remove his full name from paperwork, citing safety concerns, was approved.

“It’s unclear whether this individual is mentally ill, simply engaging in a stunt to take advantage of an overzealous, unaccountable human rights system, or something else altogether,” wrote National Post columnist Jamie Sarkonak, who reported the story. “No rational adult would show up to a job with proximity to kids in a skimpy costume and a reference to a novel about the sexual abuse of a child by a middle-aged man … and then revive the controversy by engaging in lawfare.”
