Vandy Beth Glenn was a legislative editor for the Georgia state legislature prior to telling her supervisors about her intent to transition from male to female, at which point she was fired. Unfortunately, as so many other transgender and genderqueer individuals can attest, this treatment is far too common. Federal law does not explicitly designate gender identity as a protected status in employment and hiring, leading many to depend on the forward-thinking of some companies or those few states with laws in place on the state level to prevent this kind of discrimination. But thanks to Glenn and her determination to pursue the case, a new precedent has been set, at least in the district covered by the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals.
