Central Florida resort being charged with discrimination against transgender woman

WFTV9 via Yahoo News

A Central Florida RV Resort Park is being charged with discrimination after sending a letter to a transgender resident.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is charging 21 Palms RV Resort, Inc. and its owner, Nathan Dykgraaf, in Davenport with discriminating against a former tenant because of her gender identity.

The Fair Housing Act prohibits housing providers from discriminating because of a tenant’s gender identity, including prohibiting tenants from expressing their gender.

According to a news release, the charge alleges that Dykgraaf violated the Fair Housing Act when he gave the tenant a letter stating that he was aware she was transitioning and telling her to act as a man, talk as a man and dress as a man to avoid trouble.

It is ignorant and mean but I do not get the discrimination part.

Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Telling a trans woman to "act as a man, talk as a man and dress as a man" is just as bigoted as telling a black person to "act white, talk white and dress white." Blatant discrimination, and frankly, "to avoid trouble" sounds like a threat to me as well.

2 minutes hate, but the 2 minutes never end. Not to mention, the only "trickling down" we ever get out of the QOP... Hate. The hate goes from the fang-dripping mouths of DeSatan and straight into the mouths of their incel troll footsoldiers like Nathan Dykgraaf here.

Do they think we're stupid? All of these bills and all of this hate isn't to "protect children" or "not say gay" or whatever... It's all about getting us to no longer exist.

Well, Natey... You better be grateful you're in no position to say such a thing to me. Because I'd respond with "I'm going to act like a woman, dress like a woman and walk like a woman... In my 6" heeled platform boots... ON YOUR FACE!"

Sue the living shit out of these bigots.
