Transgender model sues agency over alleged insufficient masculinity claim

A model who is a biological female identifying as male filed a discrimination suit against a New York City modeling agency on Tuesday, alleging the agency ended the model's career after labeling the model "insufficiently masculine."
Frances Coombe, a 30-year-old native Canadian, filed the suit against Muse Model Management in federal court and named the agency and its president, Conor Kennedy, as defendants, according to a report.
Coombe alleges that both parties violated civil rights that protect a person's gender identity, and the model is seeking at least $300,000 in lost income, plus additional damages, citing a hurt reputation and emotional distress.
"It is no surprise that models evolve their looks, and I had been moving towards more androgyny for quite some time," Coombe said.
