A
refuge from male/female dichotomies,
sex-based stereotypes, and other gender madness...
Transitions That Work is a
consulting service for transsexuals who plan to transition on the
job, their coworkers, and their employers. We offer help in planning
a successful transition, guidance for employers dealing with
transition issues, and diversity training about transsexualism. We
have available our
brochure for employers;
a paper version is available on request. We also have two books
available:
Transsexual Workers: An Employer's Guide
and
Working with a Transsexual: A Guide for
Coworkers.
The employer's book explains transsexualism and the process of
transitioning from one sex to the other in plain language. Guidance
is offered to employers and managers on every aspect of transition,
from which restroom a transsexual employee should use to the
application of nondiscrimination statutes to transgendered persons.
Potential problem areas in the workplace are addressed, and a
resource section points the way to additional books, websites,
videos, and more. The coworker's book contains the same information
about transsexualism and transitioning, but in the context of a
transsexual woman's story. Questions coworkers frequently ask are
answered, and pictures of transsexual professionals are included. |

important part of themselves and pretending to be something they are
not.

between employers and employees. While civil rights laws are
important to understand, and provide useful examples of language,
advocacy for laws is outside the scope of TAW. |
