The readers' editor on ... why advice from the boss on what not to wear may not be the right answer
Siobhain Butterworth

Two weeks ago You Are The Boss, an illustrated column in the Work section of Saturday's paper, asked: "Your most senior project manager comes in one morning dressed as a woman and demanding to be called Melissa. Personally you are fine with his gender reassignment, but are not so sure that your construction industry clients will feel the same way. What do you do?" There were several complaints about this. "It was brave to attempt to tackle the complexities of gender reassignment in the workplace with a light-hearted multiple choice question," said Christina Stokes of Stonewall Scotland. "However, the end result of this misguided decision was grossly offensive."
