Library Of Congress Guilty Of Trans Discrimination

http://www.queerty.com/library-of-congress-guilty-of-trans-discrimination-20080922/

In 2004, after working as an Army Special Forces commander, a man named David Schroer applied for a job as the senior terrorism analyst at the Library of Congress.

All seemed to be going well and Schroer seemed like a shoe-in, but things got more complicated when David said he planned on becoming Diane. The Library didn't seem to approve, because Schroer was told he couldn't have the job. Well, fast-forward four years and the Library of Congress now finds itself guilty of discrimination.

A federal court ruled Friday that the Library did, in fact, discriminate against Schroer because she transitioned genders. And she couldn't be more pleased:
