Karen Clarke was told by her boss, Ed Kikkert, at Trails End Farmer's Market in London, Ontario that she would have to shut her candle and incense booth down. Kikkert's reasoning? Karen had employed three transgendered individuals to work at her booth with her.

Ed Kikkert's actions against Karen and her employees exemplify deliberate discrimination. Karen has had a booth at Trail's End Farmer's Market for years and has never had any problems or altercations. Simply put, Karen and her employees have done absolutely nothing wrong. And the fact that they have to be punished for no reason is baffling and outright maddening.

No one should be discriminated against based on their gender. Support Karen and her employees in their fight for justice!

Dear Ed Kikkert,

Your reasoning for ejecting Karen Clarke from the Trails End Farmer's Market is unfounded and discriminatory. Karen's booth has done business in the farmer's market for three years straight without any problems. Your lack of loyalty, trust, and respect for Karen and her employees is exasperating and makes no sense.

Her booth was not taking away business from anyone and the only person who seems to have a problem with it is you. Discriminating against someone simply because of their gender is wrong, plain and simple.

Change your discriminatory ways or be forced to suffer the consequences.
