  • Lex Mentis - The Transvestites' Bill of Rights ( May 2006 )

    In 2003, California became only the third state to enact legislation specifically protecting transgendered employees from workplace discrimination. It did so, moreover, in a clumsy and ill-defined fashion that will likely lead to considerable mischief in the courts in California and a spread of this movement to other states. California's new law will pose a significant challenge for employers who will now have to assimilate transgendered employees into the workforce. A few large employers have already adopted rules and guidelines for the treatment of transgendered employees.
