Where Is The Executive Order For Federal Gender Identity & Expression Based Employment Protections?

Update: Americablog is reporting this:

    The other announcement Obama will be making is a non-discrimination "something." Basically, he's going to add "gender identity" (i.e., transgender persons) to the existing federal non-discrimination policy that already covers gay people, and even Bill Clinton adopted the initial non-discrimination policy in the 1990s. And even George Bush left the policy in place. So, yes, this is a small step forward, but very small indeed.

I haven't seen anyone else report this -- I hope it's true, but I'm not holding my breath.
