House Subcommittee Considers Protections for 'Transgendered' Individuals

"A U.S. House subcommittee heard today that discrimination against
"transgender" Americans apparently is pervasive in the U.S.

The Health, Employment, Labor and Pensions Subcommittee hearing came
in response to the Employment Non-Discrimination Act — passed by the
House in November — which gives special rights to homosexuals in the
workplace but doesn't include "transgendered" individuals. The Senate
has not taken up the legislation."
