Transeducate

The whole ENDA thing created a small rift between numerous LGBT organizations and the transgender world (I stopped using "community" as its use tends to bug a lot of people). I would say Donna Rose's departure from HRC was probably the most symbolic and influential of these rifts. Now, it appears, something good has come from that departure. Her and Jamison Green have formed a partnership called Transeducate. They even have a website, although it is quite in its infancy. Their partnership plans to delve into what both of them have been working on for years...transgender issues in the workplace.

Unlike them, I have mainly talked at schools and universities. To me, it seems like the workplace would be a tougher place to speak to individuals...although, I'm betting the two are totally separate forums and topics that are really hard to compare to one another.
