Tell us about Transgender Michigan. What does it do?
Our main mission is to improve the lives of transgender individuals in Michigan. Some of the things that we do most are speaking engagements and workshops to educate the general public and companies about transgender individuals and the challenges they face and about having a proper protocol for dealing with transgender employees. We also have an online resource called Trans Pages and those are an index of Michigan businesses that are trans friendly. That includes places like doctors offices, clothing stores, restaurants, hair stylists. It's incredibly needed because I remember early in my transition I didn't know who to go to or what to do. It was invaluable.
