Hired as a man, fired as a woman

By Christian Boone
cboone@ajc.com

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

On Halloween 2006, Vandy Beth Glenn, unlike some of her costumed colleagues, came to work dressed in typical business attire.
For that, the former editor with the Georgia General Assembly was fired, as her then-boss recently acknowledged in court documents.

Vandy Beth Glenn was fired from her job with the Georgia General Assembly for being transgendered. She has filed a federal law suit seeking her job back.

Oh Georgia is squarely in Jesusland, no surprise there. I so want to leave for a more civilized part of the country.

Hmmm... such detailed fantasies...

In order to survive as a trans woman, you must be, by definition, impervious, unflinching, and tenacious. In a culture in which femaleness and femininity are on the receiving end of a seemingly endless smear campaign, there is no act more brave-especially for someone assigned a male sex a birth-than embracing one's femme self.

I think Vandy Beth said a profound thing: "The most important thing [lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender] people can do is come out," she said. "The way to solve problems like this is to show people how ordinary we really are."

Good luck to her.

It does help, save for the bigots and religious zealots.
