The federal government has been working on these guidelines for a while. I am glad to see that these are finally out.
U.S. Office of Personnel Management Issues Guidance on Transgender Employees | Just Out: "Federal agencies can no longer use ignorance as an excuse when it comes to the (mis)treatment of transgender employees. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management outlined in a Friday memo policies and concepts relating to the employment of transgender people as well as guidelines for when an employee transitions in the workplace."
