Anchorage ex-Marine faces Work Discrimination for being Transgender

In the early 1990's I interviewed at McLaughlin Youth Center and was told that with my Marine Corps and security experience I was the top candidate for the job, but that I need a bachelor's degree to be hired. I eventually went after the degree and at the same time corrected an issue in my life that had tormented me for decades - I corrected my gender.


Now, even though I am more skilled and better trained, I am deemed "unfit" to work in my field. Even though I served my Human Service practicum (internship) at McLaughlin. I have interviewed 25 times with no luck.
