00:00 Introduction
13:00 Question of the Week
Question: " You have said many times when asked about employment that you told your employer that you would withdraw rather than hurt the bottom line. What about people like myself who cannot afford to transition without their current position. If I were to depart my present company my transition would most likely be brought to a halt. I suspect many transpeople are in the same sort of catch 22 position. What is your advice for people who face financial disaster by losing their job and mental anguish at the thought of stopping their transition? " (from: Pam)
