Most of the TS girls on here are in a pretty good place as well as many are still earning in their original occupations.However,there are many others that have been driven from the workplace,down a slippery slope,to a place in life that is hand to mouth survival,and people on here tend to forget those "T"s,many of whom would still be in their former workplace if not for their employer's right to discriminate.
Rogina, my point is not to exclude a group, but to include everyone. Meaning, when you name a group as being deserving rights based upon status, you inevitably discriminate against others who are not members of the group. Discrimination is unconstitutional at any level. Laws that treat someone who is a TG or TS differently are unconstitutional. An employer who fires someone for exhibiting another gender leaves themselves open for civil liability. I don't for a second think that people are not discriminated against for gender, preferred gender, sexual preference, race, etc. I just want all individuals protected.
