ACLU Applauds First-Ever Congressional Hearing on Gender Identity in the Workplace

"We wish to thank Representative Andrews for holding this historic hearing, and giving Colonel Schroer the opportunity to tell her story before Congress," ACLU Senior Legislative Counsel Christopher Anders. "Colonel Schroer's testimony gets at core American values, those of equality and fair play. Regardless of our gender identity, we all deserve a fair shot at job opportunities and advancement.

"In America, it should be hard work, education, skills and experience which determine our success in the job market. Unfortunately, this was not the case for Colonel Schroer. We hope that her testimony today compels the committee and Congress to act to protect transgender individuals from discrimination in the workplace."
