First of all I am not "gender variant." I am a woman with a transsexual medical condition. Second, my  If that were to happen, workplaces would be required to give time off for SRS,

I can't speak for everyone but I am currently on medical leave for my SRS. My job is "protected" under the medical leave act and I am collecting short term disability. I have other friends that have transistioned and collected STD. I was told by my employer they would only cover it if it was covered in the IRS tax code.That code change came to be in Feb of 2010 when the supreme court ruled on a lawsuit stating SRS was tax deductible because it it considered medically because it is considered medically necessary and recommended treatment for gender dysphoria.
