Wow! That's pretty progressive for a Florida company.
As a handicapped person, I can never understand how this treatment of trans folk is allowed since all research to date indicates gender disphoria (I know this term doesn't fit everyone, so please just let me say this in a quick way and not get a big argument started) is the result of inutero hormonal disturbances. Sounds like a birth defect to me and should be covered insurance wise like all birth defects. Also trans folk should be protected by the Americans with Disabilties Act (Though I have to say from my own experience that the ADA does not provide all that much protection, but it's better than nothing)
The article does NOT say that they offered her a job. Does anyone know if they did?
Smooches,
Keri
