A woman who was fired for transition from male to female back in 1997 discusses how the lack of enforcement of discrimination laws is a problem for states that have laws to protect LGBT employees.

"New Jersey passed a law in 2007 prohibiting workplace discrimination against transgender people. Still, Juro claimed that because of poor enforcement of the law, the transgender population must fight for its rights. "The burden of proof is always going to be on the person who is being discriminated against, not the company doing the discriminating." "

Rebecca says that a lot of lawyers don't want to take their cases because of how hard it is to prove.
