Big Problem If ENDA Doesn't Stipulate What Changes Must Be Made to Employee Bathrooms
http://www.queerty.com/the-big-problem-if-enda-doesnt-stipulate-what-changes-must-be-made-to-employee-bathrooms-20091108/As members of the House debate whether the Employment Non-Discrimination Act is something this country needs to keep queers safe in the workplace, should they also, by the end of all of this, issue strict directions on what employers need to do about the signs they hang on bathroom doors?
Of the many objectives activists have for ENDA, providing "bathroom rights" to transgender employees is one of them. But that's no easy issue, as Kalamazoo, Michigan, can attest. Just because we want to give transgender Americans the freedom to use the bathroom they're most comfortable with doesn't mean corporations know how, exactly, they should go about doing that. After all, one employee's bathroom rights is another employee's potential sexual harassment lawsuit. And employers would love to not have to deal with that situation.
So surely Congress will provide some guidance then? Not quite.
