Transsexual Road Map Notes

Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) needs your help to pass!

The Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) is a proposed bill in the United States Congress that would prohibit discrimination against employees on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity for civilian nonreligious employers with over 15 employees. This bill has been making its way through our legislative system for some time, and transgender protections have been a major sticking point for some activists and politicians.

This federal law would help LGBT workers in 38 states that do not currently have trans protections, particularly in less populous states and states generally considered more conservative. Find out how you can get involved at the links below:

The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) is also involved, but following their previous actions on this matter (throwing trans rights language away for political expediency), I do not recommend working through them.
