TORONTO — A transgendered woman claims she was ridiculed by a Toronto Pearson representative upon returning to the city on a flight from Florida.
Enza Anderson says when she entered the Canada Customs hall at Terminal 3 shortly before 3:30 pm on April 28, a greeter wearing a Toronto Pearson uniform pointed her out and exclaimed to her colleagues: “That’s a guy!”
“They were all staring and gawking,” Anderson told Global News.
She didn’t confront the worker because she had just finished a long trip from Fort Myers with stopovers in Atlanta and Cincinnati.
“I didn’t feel I needed to tell her how she is supposed to behave,” says Anderson. “I just wanted to go home.”
Anderson, a customer service representative at a bank, remains shocked by the welcome she received.
“I felt very angry, I felt very uncomfortable,” she says. “It’s not the attention I wanted. I don’t want to be looked at as a freak. I want to walk in a crowd and not be pointed at.”
Anderson said the Pearson greeter’s reaction was something she never expected to receive in a major Canadian city.
