JoAnn, thank you VERY MUCH for posting this news article.

I reckon there no need to worry about ENDA being trans inclusive now.

The EEOC handles cases involving work place. It does nothing for housing, medical, public places, and etc. These still need to be addressed on a National Bases.

I never heard of the EEOC, and I have to say that I despise most government agencies. I like to believe that I am a valid and worthy person without any regard to what Title anything has to say about me. It does have some academic interest to see what direction the political correctness wind is blowing, but I was never holding my breath to be accepted by D.C.
My whole point is this, if we accept their judgement now that we are ok, then we must accept it some years from now when things change and we are not ok anymore. Only I get to decide if I am OK.

Thanks for posting this, JoAnn. It is great to see an end-run around one of the areas that would be covered by ENDA.
