Echelon Magazine: Employers of Choice Come to Terms with Choice of Gender

The title above refers to an article I wrote for this month's issue of Echelon Magazine, an LGBT business magazine. The article discusses the types of issues that employers are facing when employees transition in the workplace. Of course, the article makes no reference to the recent fun and games with ENDA, as it was written this past summer. Nonetheless, I do find an ironic connection between the article and the controversy over yanking "gender identity" out of the bill. Big Business, inherently conservative by nature, is coming to terms with transgender identity in its workplaces, and yet Democratic politicians, supposedly liberal by nature, are frightened to embrace it.
