Pieter, that is an interesting angle since we usually talk about young LGBT. But these folks have lots to share since they revealed their preferences when these things were not accepted easily. Here is a current development in the US: www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/article183408741.htmlVirginia Democrat Danica Roem, the US’s first openly transgender state representative, gave a thank-you speech following the announcement of her win on Tuesday, November 7. She beat Bob Marshall, who had served in Virginia’s House of Delegates since 1992. Marshall introduced a “bathroom bill” earlier in the year, requiring people to use only the restroom that matched their biological sex. The bill was not passed. This video shows Roem’s victory speech at the election night watch party. “To every person who’s ever been singled out, who’s ever been stigmatized, who’s ever been the misfit… This one’s for you,” Roem said to a crowd of cheering supporters |

An interesting topic of both laden with the pitfalls of opportunity and disappointments. For in most aspects of business, transgender people for the most part, make very good employees, for they take their work seriously and do try to make a good fit.
For us in civil service, they poise a high risk of being compromised in both the aspect of security and personal integrity. This has nothing to do with their personal situation, but every thing to do with being vulnerable to black mail or what ever personal weakness that would be to weaken their resolve to hold their sworn oath.
Realizing of course there will be others with an opposite point of view that transgender people deserve the same opportunities that others are entitled to. For this is well and good in most cases, for my reply is not simply an opinion but a fact based on reality.
