Transgender Transitioning in the Workplace: How HR Can Help

A close friend recently told me that she is preparing to take the
final steps of transitioning from a "she" to a "he". As a transsexual,
over the next few months (years?) she will be undergoing both hormonal
treatment and sex reassignment surgery.

The news rocked my world and caused my head and heart to spin in
different directions. Until this point in my life, I've never known a
transsexual (that I'm aware of) and I felt completely ignorant on the
subject.
