I believe that once we have those protections in place, we still have to look at an employer's responsibility in *not* disclosing certain information. So... I can see post-transition individuals being hired in K-12 education (and hopefully protected). However, I still think we are a long, long, long way away from K-12 educators being able to peacefully transition *on* the job.
Linus, does your employer have a non-discrimination policy in place that cites sexual orientation *and* gender identity?

Actually, yes. The company is very sensitive and, although HR is slow at times, they are very supportive.
