As I discussed a while back, the Harvard Business Review, one of the world's foremost business publications and read by business elites in every country in the world, is weighing in on transgender workplace issues this month. Every month, HBR contains a "case study," a complex fictional scenario designed to illustrate an issue that businesses face, inviting three industry experts to comment.
The December issue of HBR features a case entitled "When Steve Becomes Stephanie." The subtitle is "What does a star player's gender change imply for a traditional company's culture?" Readers are invited to comment online, and there are some interesting comments.
HBR has succeeded in bringing out transgender workplace issues to the world business community in a way that invites serious intellectual thought about how businesses can and should handle gender transition in the workplace, other than the traditional "you're fired" method. There were a lot of ways this project could have gone wrong, but HBR really did its homework.

Hi Katia,
I am an alumni of this school
and happy our community is recognized there too
HBR guys are smart, no doubt, they are usually mirroring new issues in our society, issues that people are ready to buy !
That would suggest the business community may be becoming more welcoming to us ...
From experience, we see some business areas are more welcoming than others ::)
(like advertising, entertainment, creative, ....)
with love
Francoise
