I've gotten so many questions about legal issues related to federal
employees in the past week of Obummer-ness that I thought it might be
useful to provide a bit of historical context. In my post
about the memorandum that the President signed on Wednesday night, I
briefly described the history of the "unrelated to job performance"
law that the new memorandum cites, and the potential it holds to
protect federal employees against discrimination based on gender
identity. The full story goes all the way back to the mid-sixties.
