The Ban On Gender Identity Discrimination Probably Won't Save Your Job
http://www.queerty.com/the-ban-on-gender-identity-discrimination-probably-wont-save-your-job-20110505/ (http://www.queerty.com/the-ban-on-gender-identity-discrimination-probably-wont-save-your-job-20110505/)
Unless you're one of the estimated 16,848 full-time equivalent employees hired by the U.S. Department Of Labor, their recent ban on gender identity discrimination won't protect you at your state, local, or private job. And seeing as ENDA has no chance of passing this year, we'll still have to lobby individual companies and cities to protect the untold number of trans-and-intersex employees everywhere else.
But if you are a federal employee, well then golly gee you're in luck. Not only do the new policies protect gender identity, but also pregnancy. So, it's a double-win if you're a pregnant FtM.

MANY States are employment-at-will States, meaning that no reason need be provided for a termination.
