Q: There is someone at work who is from a very religious background, and they are having some difficulty coming to terms with my transition.  Their attitude makes me quite uncomfortable, particularly as this person seems to think it is their job to talk to me about their religious beliefs. HR seems to think it is a question of religious freedom, and is reluctant to help, particularly because this person is loud about being forced to accept me against their religious beliefs.  Is this an issue of religious freedom?"
