On the Friday before the Memorial Day Weekend, the Obama Administration released a new federal workplace antidiscrimination policy relating to gender identity.

There is history behind this policy release. Back on June 17, 2009, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) released a memorandum entitled Federal Benefits and Non-Discrimination. In that memorandum, The White House directed the following:

"The Office of Personnel Management shall issue guidance within 90 days to all executive departments and agencies regarding compliance with, and implementation of, the civil service laws, rules and regulations, including 5 U.S.C. 2302(b)(10), which make it unlawful to discriminate against federal employees or applicants for federal employment on the basis of factors not related to job performance."
