link"There are amazing services here. Amazing protections," Stanton, 48, said while visiting City Hall with Cecilia Chung of the Transgender Law Center. Stanton was introduced to Supervisor Bevan Dufty, who pointed out that soon TLC would implement a transgender employment initiative; Dufty helped secure $300,000 in city funding for the program last year.
For Stanton, who is married and has a teenage son, the future is uncertain. Karen Doering, an NCLR attorney in the agency's Florida office, is expected to announce next week whether they will take legal action against the city of Largo, which Doering maintains violated its own internal non-discrimination policy.
