"Excerpt: The retailer's hiring policy will not include provisions to
specifically protect transgender people this year after a proposal
calling for such an amendment was denied.

The Rev. Jonalu Johnstone of the Unitarian Universalist Association of
Congregations called for the change. Wal-Mart prohibits discrimination
based on sexual preference, but only includes gender status in a
catch-all statement pledging to ban other illegal discrimination
practices.

"What about a status that is legally protected in some jurisdictions
but not others ? "she asked. "Should a company be selective about
which stores follow which rules ?"

yeah we'll see about that when my new store manager arrives, i'll bet i'm the first one he sends out the door, seeing as how customers have asked for my schedule.
