A Colorado landlord who claims to possess magical psychic powers refused to rent to a queer couple after she predicted their “uniqueness” would cause trouble in the neighborhood.
When Tonya Smith and her wife Rachel, a trans woman, applied to rent a home from psychic Deepika Avanti in the town of Gold Hill (pop. 230), they were allegedly told in an email that their “unique relationship” would become a “town focus,” triggering gossip and blowing Avanti’s “low profile.”
To be sure she was making the right decision rejecting the Smiths based on Rachel’s gender identity, Avanti said she had consulted with another “psychic friend,” who advised her not to rent to the couple. This friend, Avanti claimed, was a very reliable psychic who could predict diseases up to eight years in advance, therefore she simply could not ignore the advice.

What? That's outrageous!
I thought the law allowed for you to discriminate based on someone's sexuality if you were really, really sure that the sexuality/sexual identity was agonna cause... gossip ...

So, when psychics consult with other psychics, do they need to pay for the reading? Also, why wouldn't they know what the results of the other person's reading was in advance?

I gotta admit my ignorance. Is a "trans woman" a woman who was changed into a man or a man who was changed into a woman?

If the second case, then it would be that Rachel had been a lesbian trapped in a male body until the sex change allowed her to have a lesbian relationship with women rather than a nasty old heterosexual relationship with women.

Never mind.
