Thanks for your interest and please let us know if you wish to

Subject: Sunnyside Farms - Apprenticeship Opportunity

Dear Applicant / Interested party,

Good morning.

You are receiving this email because you have contacted us expressing
interest in participating in an apprenticeship opportunity at
Sunnyside Farms in Washington, VA. As you might be aware, we are a
100% certified organic farm located in Rappahannock County, VA. We
sell our products both at farmers' markets in Northern Virginia,
Washington, D.C., and Maryland as well as to wholesale buyers in the
same region.

This email contains all information related to our apprenticeship
programs available for the 2007 season. Reference to work, stipend,
accommodations, time off, and other questions are included here.
Please feel free to send along any other questions you may have.

As a matter of clarification, we have partners that would help us
process visas for foreign trainees. Please consider that fees linked
to visa processing or expenses related to air fare and ground
transportation would be the sole responsibility of the trainee.
Furthermore, foreign trainees are required by law to retain their own
medical insurance, regardless of workers' compensation coverage
provided by host.

Apprenticeship Program / Trainee Profile

- Program Duration.- I have 6 openings available for this
upcoming season. We need trainees between April and October 2007;
however, we can take trainees in for shorter periods of time, our
peak season is June through September so that is the time when we
need most help. Please indicate which time frames are available to
you so we can discuss if we can work with those.

- Stipend.- stipend includes free lodging, free utilities
(we don't cover phone usage), a free quota of farm produce, and
$1,200.00 / month. You are responsible for disposing of your own
trash; however, there are 2 county landfills that will accept
household trash at no charge.

- Schedule.- work starts at 7 a.m. every morning (everybody
is expected at the office 5 minutes prior to 7 a.m. to discuss daily
activities); work ends at 5 p.m. with the exception of 2 days / week
in the summer during which work extends from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Furthermore, if a task is not finished and it needs to be done then
you are not allowed to leave work until said task is over or
supervisor has granted permission to punch out. There is a 15 minute
break at 10 a.m. and a 30 minute break at 12 p.m. Those are the only
2 breaks available to every intern / trainee on a daily basis. There
is only 1 day off per week and it will be assigned by supervisor upon
arrival.

- Work Description.- It is overly important for me to
emphasize that this apprenticeship program is very physical.
Trainees / interns are required to work 60 – 65 hours per week. This
represents 6 days of work and 1 day off per week. All this work is
field work, physical work, it doesn't include office work or special
research projects off the field. Interns / trainees will have the
opportunity to visit and work at farmers' markets based on scheduling
provided by host. Please note that schedules may change and
participation in farmers' markets is not guaranteed for every
intern / trainee every week. Furthermore, our busiest season starts
in April and ends in December. Please keep in mind that the months
of April, November, and December are known to be wintery in our area,
this means temperatures may be freezing and work would still continue
so long as weather permits. It is important to keep in mind that you
would experience how hard it is to be a farmer and this is
experienced in the field, both in the winter and the summer. Work
description follows:

o Vegetable production.- this includes seeding and
transplanting plugs in the propagation house; preparing soil mix,
watering plants, and transplanting into greenhouses and fields.
Vegetable production also includes manual soil amendment with compost
produced at the farm, hand-weeding and tool weeding, setting up
irrigation systems, harvest, curing (when applicable), washing,
packing, and storing products. Since we are a year-round farm,
trainees / interns will have the opportunity to grow vegetables that
do well in hot and cold weather. On any given year we grow around 50
different short cycle vegetables and you would have the opportunity
to assist in the production of these.

o Cut Flowers.- we grow and sell cut flowers at our farmers'
markets. Work on these would include seeding, transplanting, weeding,
harvest, and bunching of flowers.

o Tree fruit and brambles.- we grow apples, Asian pears,
cherries, strawberries, peaches, blackberries, and raspberries. By
the time you arrive (April), all major winter work will be finished
(pruning). All maintenance work related to tree health (product
applications to prevent disease) will be performed by year round
staff we have available at Sunnyside. Your experience with these
crops will essentially be harvest and packing in ready-to-sell
containers.

o Eggs.- we have a flock of 1,000.00 layers. We harvest,
wash, and pack eggs on a daily basis. Layers need to be cared for
every day. They are fed, their water is changed, they are turned out
and into their hen houses during the day and night, and they are also
fed leftover vegetables and fruit from farmers' markets.

o Other livestock.- we used to have goats, broilers, horses,
and pigs. We have now simplified our operation into the 4 previous
categories. If you are looking to gain experience with livestock
then we may not be your best choice.

o Product preparation.- we sell our products at 7 – 8 Northern
Virginia and DC area farmers' markets. We also sell our products
wholesale to restaurants in the metro DC area. Trainees / interns
would assist in washing, packing, and staging orders and markets for
delivery.

o Farmers' Markets.- trainees / interns will be allowed to
help at farmers' markets in any schedule host determines. Schedule
may also change and there is no guarantee that you'll be attending a
market every week.

o Miscellaneous Activities.- as any farm, we have many
miscellaneous activities going on which may not directly relate to
production (e.g. cleaning different areas of the farm, new projects,
etc). You will also collaborate on these projects as they are
assigned by host.

- Accommodations.- as stated earlier, these are provided to
you free of charge. HOWEVER, you are responsible for maintaining
absolute cleanliness and order in the accommodations provided to you,
both in your personal space as in common use areas. Your supervisor
will make a monthly visit to inspect state and cleanliness of
accommodations. The kitchen, floor, cooking surfaces, tables,
chairs, refrigerators, bathrooms, and all common areas must be clean
upon inspection. As a different subject, during the summer months
air conditioning MUST be turned off during working hours. Although
air conditioning is available at accommodations provided, you are
expected to keep it off during working hours and only keeping it on
when you are going to be in the house. This is an attempt to avoid
spending money unnecessarily. If you wish to keep units on all day
then you may proceed, but you will be billed for those expenses.

Finally, for your application to be considered you must:

- Email current resume.

- Please indicate any food allergies or any allergies you
may have (e.g. bee stings, etc.). Also, indicate if you have any
medical conditions worth considering. It is important for us to know
if there are any circumstances that may trigger or worsen existing
medical conditions. Furthermore, a basic understanding of this
situation will help us out should there be an emergency that requires
medical attention. Please be thorough on this topic. This
information WILL NOT be considered in the selection process, it will
be filed and kept confidential for use on your behalf and only if
needed.

- Sign attached Company Policy document (e-signature
allowed; reply email with a statement of acceptance of all conditions
is considered a signature from your part).

- Also, please note that all trainees / interns are retained
as consultants by The Cole Family Foundation DBA Sunnyside
Institute. This means we don't collect taxes from your wages and
that you may not expect a W-2 form to file for your taxes. You are
solely responsible for filing your taxes. As a hired consultant you
can expect a W-1099. By accepting this apprenticeship you forever
release The Cole Family Foundation DBA Sunnyside Institute from any
claims related to filing or paying your taxes.

Thanks for your interest in our program and we hope we can work with
you this year. My contact information, should you need it, is:

intended to better protect employees who transition on the job.

SITEL Corporation (NYSE: SWW), with North American headquarters in Omaha, sites all over the world, is regarded as one of the most t-friendly employers of the area. Although there's no "We Welcome Trannies" sign on the door, I've never heard of any incidents or problems. I know of many t* people of all types who are employed at SITEL.

Motorola and IBM in Austin, Texas have TG people working for them. IBM has 100 employees who have transitioned (this is worldwide of course). Just this year three people have transitioned on the job in Austin. These companies are very accommodating to TG employees.

Thank you! very helpful and hopeful.

You are most welcome.

I hope that this is helpful to someone.

John Calvin Coolidge, Jr., the 30th President of the United
States (1923-1929), said "The business of America is business".

It is my personal belief that any transperson that can help a
company reach that goal, should be afforded the opportunity
to do so.

It makes dollars, and it makes sense !

The thread made me think of a few things, that have
kept me in good stead in my years in the workplace.
I hope some of it will be useful to someone.

Things a person can do to stay off the radar in the first place:

1. Have your paperwork in order, if all your documents
are "who you are supposed to be". that can keep your
name out of peoples mouths.

2. The harsh reality is the better a person can "pass" the
more people will leave you alone. I fully realize that’s unfair
and cruel, but it is factual. Whatever you can do to help
that process, do so. If a girl wears provocative clothing,
she should try to leave the "hoochie" look till Friday, and
try to wear what women her age in that company wear.

If you need "work- cosmetic procedures", start saving
your money and on a long holiday, get it done. But,
don't leave work on Friday a 36A, and come back
Monday a 40DD, if you must do that, try it in winter,
and then keep the “girls” under a bulky sweater. :)

3. Don't confide your situation to the first person,
or any person who befriends you, unless there is
a very compelling reason to so.

4. KNOW YOUR JOB, DO YOUR JOB. "The business
of America," President Calvin Coolidge said in 1925,
"is business." Companies are in business to make
money, if you are helping them do that, then you
are cool with them. If you have a million doctors
appointments, or your "mones" are giving you mood
swings, you will need to "twerk" it out.

5. Finally, “DON’T fuck the help”. :eek: Yeah, I
know Ray-Ray, down on the loading docks is “fine”.
And he is always taking his shirt off, and his muscles
gleam from sweat when he’s working. But when something
goes wrong in your relationship, he will put your business
on “Front Street”.

MySpace Is Public Space When It Comes To Job Search

Entry Level Job Seekers - It's Time To Reconsider the Web

MILWAUKEE, WI--July 26, 2006--In a recent survey, CollegeGrad.com, the #1 Entry Level Job site, found that 47% of college grad job seekers who use social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook have either already changed or plan to change the content of their pages as a result of their job search.

"There is a growing trend in the number of employers who are Googling candidates to research for additional information," said Brian Krueger, President of CollegeGrad.com. "This trend has now spilled over to the use of Internet social networking sites, such as MySpace and Facebook, for screening potential candidates."

MySpace has become the most popular social networking site in the world, with more than 95 million members. It accounts for 80% of all visits to online social networking sites, according to Wikipedia. Facebook has the largest number of registered users among college-focused networking sites, also according to Wikipedia.

Are social networking sites private or public? It depends on who you ask.

"It violates the privacy of the applicants," said Shantice Bates, a Mass Communication Major from Virginia Commonwealth University. "A person's MySpace or Facebook pages really have nothing to do with their work personality."

Yet the information is still in the public domain. Is it truly private? "The thought of an employer reviewing your information can be a very scary thought to a candidate, especially in the case of a college student or recent grad," commented Krueger. "But as long as the information is posted publicly, it is available to others and could potentially be a liability to you in your job search. It could keep you from getting the job. Or, worse yet, from even getting the interview in the first place—and usually you wouldn’t even know why."

So what about the employee who was asked to change the content of her MySpace page as a condition of her continued employment? Sound a little invasive?

Steven Jungman, Division Director of ChaseSource, LP explained that a client of theirs conducted an Internet search for a current project, using the code name of the project as the keyword. Surprisingly, a project team member’s MySpace page was found in the search results. Not only had she listed her role in the project as her current work experience, but also included on the site were some very revealing photographs of her in addition to other very personal information. She was required to remove mention of the employer and the project as a condition of her continued employment.

"My professional recommendation is that individuals realize that the World Wide Web is exactly that, and personal information is a key click away," said Jungman. "Common sense should prevail when someone posts something on the web that they would not put on a resume."

Krueger recommends, "Entry level job seekers who use MySpace and Facebook should update their pages to reflect their job search image. If you don’t want information seen by employers, don’t publish it publicly."

Those who have followed the prevailing advice and cleaned up their personal Web pages have been rewarded, sometimes using the Internet to their networking advantage. Consider Catherine Germann, a 2005 Information Technology graduate from Rochester Institute of Technology. While she was in the midst of her job search, she was contacted out of the blue by a recruiter. He had seen Germann's resume on a job board and promptly Googled her name, finding her personal website, her live journal and noticed that they had a mutual friend. Germann had already cleaned up her personal pages and adjusted the privacy settings to project a more professional image. Her site helped her in a positive way to build a potential job connection.

"I always advise my friends to clean up their pages, even if they aren't using their name," said Germann. "There are plenty of ways to figure out who someone is even if they are hiding behind a nondescript screen name."

Krueger advises college grad job seekers to beware of the image they project. "College grad job seekers should avoid anything that might cause a recruiter to say 'Yikes!' when they found you on the Web," said Krueger. "Like it or not, MySpace and Facebook are public sites. Instead of posting information and photos from that all night party, job seekers can stand out from the crowd by using these sites as an opportunity to generate a positive first impression. If you wouldn’t put it in your resume, don’t put it on the Web."

Recent Survey Shows How Social Networking Sites Can Derail Your Job Search

NewswireToday - /newswire/ - Toronto, ON, Canada, 02/11/2007 - A recent poll conducted for careerbuilder.com™ showed that 26% of hiring managers admitted to using the Internet to perform background checks on job candidates...

... many employers are also researching potential job candidates through Google™, Myspace.com and Facebook.com and what they are finding could be used as reasons not to hire you.

A recent poll conducted for careerbuilder.com™ showed that 26 percent of hiring managers admitted to using the Internet to perform background checks on job candidates. A further 12 percent admitted to using social networking sites such as MySpace.com and Facebook.com as a screening tool.

... However, many students are surprised to learn that their candid and sometimes sexually explicit photos and the details of their drinking and dating lives in their profiles can negatively affect their job search. Those disparaging comments, risqué photos, inappropriate language and lewd jokes posted on their profiles could be viewed as a reflection of their character by a potential employer.

According to an HR director, people should carefully consider their potential audience and the impression they may have based on your pictures, personal opinions, and ideas posted online. “We were in the process of extending an offer to a great candidate, until his myspace.com page was brought to our attention. He had a great resume, went to an elite school and had impeccable references. However, our review of his myspace profile highlighted his recreational drug use. This made us immediately reconsider hiring him,” says an HR Director for a financial services company in Toronto, Ontario. “Our company is very conscious of client relations and our public image and we could not risk this candidate’s background being taken as a reflection of our organization.“ ...

Prior to starting a new job search, it is recommended that job seekers perform a Google search on their names to find out what a potential employer may read or see about them online. If any questionable content is discovered, content you would not feel comfortable if an employer or your parents view, then request that the site’s webmaster remove it immediately. Questionable content may include nude photos, slanderous comments or photographs that show you in inappropriate situations. Keep in mind you may encounter resistance in getting the content removed, however, you can let them know that they may be affecting your future job prospects and you may have no choice but to seek legal recourse. For that information, that you absolutely cannot have removed due to lack of control, construct a plausible answer to counter or explain away to a hiring manager.

We are not advocating that social networking sites are to be used solely for job searching or building a web portfolio of your resume and job skills, but it makes sense to remove as much of the negative content about yourself as is possible. You should be smart and discreet in your online communications and consider creating private profiles for just your family members and friends.

There are many ways to create a “positive cyber profile” that does not affect your career prospects. College students can create personal web pages and profiles at social networking sites that include their resumes, hobbies and interests, details on leadership activities or academic successes. You can also include photos of yourself but ensure they do not include explicit materials. Job seekers can use their online profiles to demonstrate their excellent communication skills, establish a professional image of themselves prior to an in-person meeting, demonstrate their creativity and diverse interest – things that can set them apart from other job seekers.

As more and more users flock to social networking sites, the affect these sites have on the job search and candidate screening may include employers going even deeper into candidate’s personal and professional lives. It is therefore advisable to put nothing online that have the potential to hurt your future job prospects and include anything that would help you in landing a new job. Use common sense when creating an online profile. Remember that employers who do online searches are looking for reasons not to hire you.

Answers to the Seven Toughest Interview Questions

By Kate Lorenz, CareerBuilder.com Editor

There you sit, waiting to be ushered into your interview. Your suit is pressed, your shoes are shined and your resume is top notch. But, as the minutes tick past, you feel a mounting sense of doom as you anticipate the questions that will cause a deafening silence during the interview.

Want to avoid an interview disaster? Check out these tough interview questions and their suggested responses:

Q: "What are your weaknesses?"

"Don't take this literally and go into a detailed explanation of your weaknesses," says John Challenger, CEO of global outplacement consultancy Challenger, Gray & Christmas, Inc. He advises taking a potential weakness and putting a positive spin on it.

A: "I am very detail oriented and in some industries that may not be a good fit. But for this accounting position, I think this trait truly will help me excel."

Q: "How would you solve this problem?"

Challenger says that these kinds of hypothetical questions can be risky. First of all, they may not like your answer; if they do like it, there's a chance they will steal it. That's what happened to June Sullivan when she interviewed for an activity director's position at a long-term care facility. When asked about marketing ideas, June laid out her entire plan. Well, she didn't get the job, but later recognized some of her strategies being used by the facility.

A: "I think you can increase product awareness by enacting some marketing strategies that could employ advertising, direct mail or media placements."

Q: "Why did you leave your last job?"

Again, Challenger suggests presenting everything in a positive light. An interview is not the time to dish the dirt on your previous employer.

A: "The company just wasn't a good fit for my innovative personality. But what I learned is that organizations have distinct personalities just like people do. Now I know to concentrate my job search on companies who value independent thinking and alternative methods."

Q: "Why do you want to work here?"

Questions like these require you to do your homework before the interview.

A: "I want to be a part of a global company that last year alone invested $1.4 million in research and development of eco-friendly industrial processes."

Q: "Tell me about yourself."

This is a chance for you to shine -- but not to tell your life history. Begin by listing your traits and accomplishments you feel are relevant for the position. Don't delve into personal information unless it relates to the position you're vying for.

A: "I am very creative and resourceful. I have been a sales manager for the past five years and used my creativity to devise unique incentives to keep the sales representatives motivated. Because of this my sales team earned numerous company awards."

Q: "Tell me about the worst boss you ever had."

Take the high road and don't give into the temptation to vent any past frustrations.

A: "While none of my past bosses were awful, there are some who taught me more than others did."

Q: "What are your goals?"

This is best answered by reiterating your objective statement on your resume. Keep your aspirations to be a vice president of marketing, own your own company or retire at 40 to yourself.

A: "I want to secure a civil engineering position with a national firm that concentrates on retail development. Ideally, I would like to work for a young company, such as this one, so I can get in on the ground floor and take advantage of all the opportunities a growing firm has to offer."

Through the work of the Institute, Out & Equal
aims to bring together the voices of workplace practices and scholarship to
enhance the work of both.

Transitioning into new jobs and genders

September 16, 2007
ATLANTA -- -- The woman pulled her resume from a pink file folder and handed it to a recruiter.

Across the top of the page, in bold type, she had printed her name twice: first as "Mark," then as "(Meghan)." She was not quite sure if this was appropriate.

At the nation's first transgender Career Expo, job seekers were encouraged to use their new gender names on resumes.

But Meghan, 42, a transsexual who declined to give her last name because her current employer knows her as Mark, wanted to make sure prospective employers could find her -- or him -- if they ran a background check.

The etiquette of transgender resumes was just one of the myriad challenges facing job seekers who packed the Atlanta convention hall. For transgender people -- at Friday's expo, they ranged from cross-dressers to those who had changed their gender through hormone therapy or surgery -- the workplace can be a minefield.

Many cannot find jobs. Even those who come out after they have settled in with a company risk losing their job. No federal civil rights protection exists for transgender employees, but 12 states have passed legislation ensuring employment protection. The House of Representatives is scheduled to vote this month on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, which would prohibit discrimination against employees on the basis of gender identity.

The Career Expo -- organized by the Southern Comfort Conference, the country's largest annual gathering of transgender people -- drew recruiters from more than 20 major corporations including Microsoft Corp., Deloitte & Touche LLP, Ernst & Young, American Airlines, Hewlett-Packard Co. and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.

A number of national and international corporations are developing transgender policies and protections. According to a report by the Human Rights Campaign, 152 of Fortune 500 companies prohibit job discrimination against transgender employees.

In some ways, the Career Expo was like any other job fair: Men and women walked from booth to booth, stopping to exchange business cards and promote their experience and skill.

Some scenes were more colorful: A woman with hooped earrings carrying a glossy platinum wig chatted with recruiters from Ernst & Young.

At the other side of the room, a woman in pearls wiggled her hips playfully as she walked up to a Hewlett-Packard booth. "Am I accepted?" she asked, coyly.

"Totally," the recruiter said, reaching over the booth to shake her hand. Hewlett-Packard, the recruiter said earnestly, earned a 100% diversity rating on the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index.

For many of the corporations, the expo was an opportunity to showcase their transgender- supportive policies.

The job seekers, in turn, had questions for recruiters: How did they broach the subject with co-workers or clients? What was their restroom policy for transitioning employees? Did their health insurance cover counseling or hormone treatment or sex-reassignment surgery? How many transgender employees did they have?

But some participants remained skeptical.

"The policies are all well and good," said Jillian Barfield, 50, a transsexual from St Louis, after speaking to a recruiter from the law firm Alston & Bird LLP. "But they don't do any good if they don't trickle down to the recruiters who actually interview us."

Even after she had applied to companies with transgender-friendly policies, Barfield said, recruiters who sounded receptive on the phone were less so when they met her. "They don't say anything," she said, "but you can tell."

The job fair gathering at times seemed to be as much a mass counseling or empowerment session.

Lori Anne Blake, 48, a technical product manager from Atlanta, said her need to find a new job had become more urgent as she began hormone treatment during the last year. She said she was finding it more difficult to control her mannerisms, and it was becoming uncomfortable to strap down her breasts before going to work each day as a man.

Some companies brought transgender employees to talk about their personal experiences to job seekers.

Breanna Speed, a database administrator for the human resources company Hewitt Associates, made her gender transition this year after working for the company for seven years. She was nervous, she said, but after the CEO sent an e-mail to the staff explaining Wendell henceforth would be Breanna, the response was positive.

"I was touched," she said.

Dana Kern, 44, an employee with J.P. Morgan who made her transition from David a year and a half ago, said her human resources department issued her a new e-mail address before she changed her name and allowed her to use female restrooms as soon as she wanted to.

"It takes such a lot of courage," she said, beaming as a woman handed her a resume. The woman, she said, had come back after going to a computer to alter her name to reflect her newfound confidence. "I told her right up front: We will deal with you as you are."

I don't think so! http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l2/magi43/smh2.gif

You actually are afforded a plethora of protections as
a TG in the workplace.

Some of theses protections come from the government,
whether Federal, state, or local:

Federal Statutory Law

Federal law prohibits discrimination based on sex in
public employment.6 This law prohibits discrimination
based on sex stereotypes.7 Thus, if an LGBT person
is discriminated against for failure to conform to the
stereotypes about his or her gender, the employee should
have a viable claim under federal law.

First Amendment
Public employees also have invoked the First Amendment
to protect a right to “come out” publicly

Equal Protection
The Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment
to the U.S. Constitution prohibits the government from
purposefully discriminating against someone without
adequate justification on the ground that he or she
belongs to an identifiable class of people.

Additionally a number of states provide protection:

State Law Protections

The following states have specifically listed sexual
orientation in their law prohibiting discrimination against
public employees: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado,
Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Hawaii,
Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey,
New Mexico, New York, Nevada, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin.

Transgender Employees
The following states prohibit gender identity discrimination
against public employees: California, Illinois, Kentucky,
Maine, Minnesota, New Mexico, Pennsylvania and
Rhode Island (and by court or administrative rulings
in Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New
Jersey, New York and Vermont). Also, transgender
employees who suffer discrimination often may invoke
laws against sex discrimination in employment.

Now, if you live in one of the states or cities that doesn't
provide you protection, many times if you are in a union,
you may receive protection through them.

Union Protections

Union contracts that include sexual orientation and gender
identity in their non-discrimination clause provide expanded
protections for LGBT employees. If a contract lacks these
protections, LGBT members and allies should try to get involved
in the negotiations process and advocate for these additions
in the next contract.

Some of the afore-mentioned applies to employees of the
government, but in many cases the courts have extended
these protection to private employees.

The above is excerpted from:

The Federal protections do not always protect transpersons
in the workplace.

The laws that do have more 'teeth' are the ones put in place
by various state and local governements.

Here are links to those:

States:

Cities and counties:

http://www.hrc.org/Template.cfm?Section=Search_the_Database&Template=/CustomSource/WorkNet/srch_list.cfm

Also included is a link to roughly 500 multi-national and Fortune 500
companies that are trans-friendly. The companies cover a broad
spectrum of industries and there are many that are household names.

http://www.hrc.org/Template.cfm?Section=Search_the_Database&Template=/CustomSource/WorkNet/srch_list.cfm

Additionally as was pointed out, unions will also provide protections
against un-ethical firings or discrimation as part their contract with the
employer.

For those in the European community you may want to reference:

Judgment of the Court of 30 April 1996. - P v S and Cornwall County Council. - Reference for a preliminary ruling: Industrial Tribunal, Truro - United Kingdom. - Equal treatment for men and women - Dismissal of a transsexual. - Case C-13/94.

There are many, many things about transitioning the are very
difficult, painful, frightening and unfair.

Getting and keeping a job is one of them.

If you are already at a job, and then transition, it can be very
hard. If you are able to keep your job there may be many that
will make your situation challenging. Neither the males nor the
females will want you in their restroom. You may get dirty looks,
and snide comments. Many times you may feel that you are in
physical danger.

And that may even be in a company that has a policy that states
it is trans-friendly. Because even if the company wants to do the
right thing either for economic reasons or for ethical ones, there will
be many of it's employees that will remain transphobic.

Sometimes if you are lucky while you are transitioning you will catch
a break and your job will be cool, and will have a zero tolerance policy
about 'fucking with people'.

Usually though you will end up leaving that company, continuing
your transition and re-inventing yourself. If most of your work
experience and or education was after your transition, you may
fare pretty well. But if you have mainly worked in your former
gender then it becomes much more difficult to continue in the work
that you are qualified for.

Every women must make a choice as to how to proceed, what
is best for her at that time.

Ideally the women is able to make the choice that will have the
best long term results.

Unusual Perks: Goldman Sachs Covers Sex Changes

The investment bank, No. 9 on the Best Companies to Work For list, added the benefit last year as part of a push to recruit and retain a more diverse workforce.

February 8 2008:
By Althea Chang
NEW YORK (Fortune) -- Wall Street is typically considered a pretty conservative place to work. But the classic white-shoe investment bank is loosening things up by adding health benefits that cover sex-change operations.

Not only is Goldman Sachs ranked No. 9 on Fortune's list of 100 Best Companies to work for, it also appears on what could be a list of transgendered job-seekers' ideal employers as well.

Goldman added health-insurance coverage of sex reassignment surgery as part of a push last year to attract top talent and recruit and retain a more diverse workforce, the company said.

The surgery alone could cost an individual anywhere from $5,000 to $150,000 if they paid out of pocket, depending on their particular situation, said Pauline Park, chair of the New York Association for Gender Rights Advocacy, a group that campaigns for transgender rights. That figure doesn't include hormone and other drug treatments.

Goldman Sachs' plan covers the actual surgery, as well as transgender-related prescription drugs, such as testosterone injections, said spokeswoman Gia Mor. It does not cover electrolysis and other cosmetic treatments, she said.

The surgery is free under the company's HMO and PPO plans as long as patients are screened and diagnosed with transsexualism and see an in-network doctor. Drugs are subject to regular prescription copays that are typically $5 to $30 a month.

Goldman is not the only financial firm that offers such benefits. Bank of America, Deutsche Bank and Wachovia also offer some level of coverage for transgender treatments, according to a poll by the Human Rights Campaign - a gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender advocacy group.

The HRC asked Fortune 1000 corporations, large law firms and other companies to volunteer information on their policies and benefits; 519 employers responded. But companies on its list may cover just hormone therapy and related prescription drugs, and not the sex reassignment surgery, as Goldman does.

For example, Wachovia's health plan deems sex reassignment surgery "elective," and not medically necessary, so it doesn't pay for actual operations. But the bank does allow transgendered employees to take short-term disability leave for surgery and covers some related prescriptions, such as painkillers and antidepressants, said a company spokeswoman, Megan Roberts.

Wachovia also offers post-operative counseling and provides diversity and sensitivity training for the "transitioning" employee's officemates, allowing the person to "feel like they can come back to some sort of normal work environment," Roberts adds.

Meanwhile, Bank of America covers the surgery, and related treatments such as hormone shots and prescriptions, as long as they're deemed by a doctor to be medically necessary.

Besides banks, other large companies including Microsoft and General Motors over transgender treatments, according to the HRC survey.

Even in the aerospace and defense industry, as well as among law firms and consulting firms, more employers are adding non-discrimination policies that include sexual orientation as well as providing additional insurance coverage for transgendered staff, said Samir Luther, manager of the Workplace Project at the Human Rights Campaign foundation.

Since employers don't want to discourage diverse candidates from applying to their firms, said Luther, "it's a trend that's going to continue even in conservative industries."

"Because we have a system of employer-based insurance, any employer that does not clearly include gender identity in their employment policies may send a signal that they're not supportive," added Park, of the New York Association for Gender Rights Advocacy.

And even though sex reassignment surgery can be expensive, a company covering the procedure won't break the bank, according to Park.

"With companies that do provide coverage, it actually doesn't affect their bottom line significantly," Park said. She added that of the few transgendered employees there may be at any given company, most don't actually want a surgical sex change.

"It's simply a myth to think that providing coverage for sex reassignment surgery is going to bankrupt a company," Park added.

(Seemed like this needed repeating)

This thread made me think of a few things, that have kept me in
good stead in my years in the workplace. I hope some of it will be
useful to someone.

Things a person can do to stay off the radar in the first place:

1. Have your paperwork in order, if all your documents are gender
and name congruent, if you are "who you are supposed to be", that
can keep your name out of peoples mouths.

2. The harsh reality is the better a person can "pass" the more people
will leave you alone. I fully realize that’s unfair and cruel, but it is
factual. Whatever you can do to help that process, do so. Also if a girl
wears provocative clothing, she should try to leave the "hoochie" look
till Friday, and try to wear what women her age in that company wear.

If you need "work- cosmetic procedures", start saving your money
and on a long holiday, get it done. But, don't leave work on Friday
a 36A, and come back Monday a 40DD, if you must do that, try it
in winter, and then keep the “girls” under a bulky sweater.

3. Don't confide your situation to the first person, or any person who
befriends you, unless there is a very compelling reason to so.

4. KNOW YOUR JOB, DO YOUR JOB. "The business of America,"
President Calvin Coolidge said in 1925, "is business." Companies are in
business to make money, if you are helping them do that, then you are
cool with them. If you have a million doctors appointments, or your
"mones" are giving you mood swings, you will need to "twerk" it out.

Along those lines if you have a less than stellar history, firm it up, no
you won't be making $300 per hour but a prospective employer needs
to see some sort of work history. As regards legal mattters, request
your records so that you will know what an employer will see when they
look at your records, and you may want to look into having them sealed.

5. Finally, “DON’T fuck the help”. Yeah, I know Ray-Ray, down on the
loading docks is “fine”. And he is always taking his shirt off, and his
muscles gleam from sweat when he’s working. But when something
goes wrong in your relationship, he will put your business on “Front
Street”.
