A Houston radiology company has settled a lawsuit filed by Izza Lopez, a transgender woman, who said the company rescinded a job offer when it discovered Lopez had been born male, the Houston Chronicle reported April 24.
Born Raul Lopez Jr., the plaintiff claimed that River Oaks Imaging and Diagnostic wrongfully pulled its 2005 offer to employ her as an appointment scheduler. River Oaks said the offer was withdrawn because Lopez presented herself as a woman, which it claims was untrue because she was born male.
