"2012 National Transgender Day of Remembrance

 

National Transgender Day of Remembrance is observed on November 20th each year to memorialize those who suffered or died as a result of anti-transgender hatred or prejudice. Such persons were victimized simply because they failed to meet someone else’s expectation of how they should identify or present themselves. Globally, the transgender community is among the most vulnerable and most misunderstood of communities, often facing lives of persecution, humiliation, poverty, exclusion, and rejection – even from their own families.

On this day, we reflect on the international transgender community’s historic and ongoing struggle for equal social treatment, civil protections, opportunities and rights.

 

The Department is committed to treating all of its employees with dignity and respect and providing a work environment free of discrimination. Federal employment information provided by the Director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), Guidance Regarding the Employment of Transgender Individuals in the Federal Workplace, can be found at: [this site.]

 

The Department’s cable dated July 11, 2012 on the Employment of Transgender Individuals is also a good resource:

 

The Department of State and GLIFAA (Gays and Lesbians in Foreign Affairs Agencies), are proud to recognize this day and hope that all State employees will take the opportunity to mark this important day. GLIFAA is the officially recognized employee resource group of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) and ally employees in U.S. foreign affairs agencies serving in the U.S. and abroad. GLIFAA works to achieve full equality (in policy, treatment, benefits, etc.) for its members.

I hope sexual realignment surgery is covered in Obamacare.

 

That way people can switch back and forth to be whatever gender they feel most comfortable being on any given day.

I wouldn't be surprised if it is.

Doesn't newbie just put on different shoes? Seems to be much easier than surgery.

In mass you have to be a convicted murderer to qualify for tax payer funded surgery.
