King claimed that he was referred to as “she, her, or it” at work and that one supervisor allegedly told him, “I know you are not a guy. I am not going to refer to you as a guy,” the Post stated.

King quit working at Whole Foods in March after the insults allegedly continued even after supervisors had sensitivity training, according to the Post.
