State Grants Leeway to Male Worker’s Dresses

A Florida state employee who legally changed his name to Sabrina and began wearing dresses to work will not have to change his outfits.

Nina Bottcher, spokeswoman for the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration, said on Monday that the agency had decided not to change its dress code to force Sabrina Robb, a counselor, to wear men’s clothing to work.

Robb had a 20-year military career before joining the agency last year. When he took his current job, his name was Dale and he dressed the same as male employees.
