HRC issues second edition of "Transgender Inclusion in the Workplace"

http://transworkplace.blogspot.com/2008/04/hrc-issues-second-edition-of.htmlThe Human Rights Campaign Foundation has released the second edition of its manual on "Transgender Inclusion in the Workplace." Many transgender advocates, including myself, have deep reservations about HRC because of its controversial stance on inclusion of "gender identity" in ENDA. Nonetheless, these reservations do not change the fact that many employers will likely be looking to this document to address transgender inclusion issues, and it deserves comment. I also have a great deal of respect personally for Samir Luther, who is the author of the report, and I believe there is some significance to the fact that the report comes from the HRC Foundation, an educational foundation separate from the political lobbying organization known as the Human Rights Campaign. But whatever the significance of all that, my initial read-through suggests that this second edition is head and shoulders above the previous effort.
