HRC Throws Trans Health Equity Under The Bus...Again

Such benefit policies reinforce negative psychiatric stereotypes and contribute to a hostile workplace environment. For example, a transsexual woman at my own employer was demeaned and ridiculed as mentally disordered by her supervisor, who told her,

"I don't know why a 'man' would want to cross-dress. You know, the company will pay to fix this condition."

She was terminated during her transition.


I really need to unsubscribe from HRC's mailing list, keep forgetting to do it...
