Another positive. I have a feeling we are going to see more court cases challenging discrimination on the basis of sex and in places that are very conservative. That in and of itself, will push us toward more equality as people simply do not want to be burdened with litigation.
The problem with employment discrimination is that it is hard to prove. The cases and efforts that companies manufacture for firing someone are often totally bogus, but backed up with "documented evidence" . If they would make that much effort into including a TG person into the workplace, they would protect their investment.
Hiring is even harder to prove. On the former though i have learned this by managing in many companies and owning my own, seeing what other people do etc. the costs for litigation quickly mount for companies. Can you imagine the effort and interruption caused by a subpoena of all email concerning a person? Often at the first hint that someone makes that they are going to rightfully seek remedy for discrimination, comes a somewhat equitable settlement, because they know how much of an interruption litigation is.
