It's important to note that while this company is based in Wisconsin, the job was in Oregon.  Oregon has non-discrimination laws that include gender identity, Wisconsin does not.
"Choosing to be true to one's self — despite challenges that may come with the journey — is an integral part of realizing not just one's own potential, but of realizing the true nature of our collective human spirit. This spirit is what makes us who we are, and by following that spirit as it manifests outwardly, and inwardly, you are benefiting us all." -Andrew WK
