Imagine if your employer wanted to pay you your regular salary, benefits and all, just to stay home and not go to work.

Sweeeeet, huh?

The lawyer for Vandy Beth Glenn thinks so too.  Vandy is a legislative editor in Atlanta, Georgia, who was fired by the Georgia General Assembly when she came out about being trans and wished to discuss how her transition would transpire in the workplace.  Judge Richard Story ordered her employer to rehire her, ruling that the firing constituted sexual discrimination.  Boss Sewell Brumby decided he'd rather pay her to stay at home than to have someone trans in the workplace.  This will be the case until an appeal can be heard.
