SACRAMENTO, CA (KFSN) -- Members of the transgender community are pushing Sacramento lawmakers for better protections in the workplace.
Drian Juarez, of the Transgender Economic Empowerment Project, is transgender and knows how much of a struggle it is to find a job.
"If you don't look like what they expect a man or woman to look like, you instantly lose the job, even if you have the qualifications," Juarez said.
