While the Human Rights Campaign is controversial within the GLBT community for its stand on the exclusion of gender identity from the federal ENDA legislation, the Corporate Equality Index is put out by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, a separate arm of the organization that has been a strong advocate of creating protections for transgender employees.
It is important to note that, while the increase in protections is laudable, these do not mean that transgender discrimination has disappeared at these organizations. Anecdotal evidence of transgender discrimination suggests that there is often a significant gap between policy on the books and policy in action.
