It would interesting to argue that that was illegal sex
discrimination.  Of course, the employer could come back that, no, it
was legal transsexual discrimination, but if so why did the employer
wait until after surgery (which is _long_ after the employer would
know that the employee was TS)?

I'd also want to know whether the employer was subject to FMLA.
