Question of the Week
" Question: Is there a database anywhere, that one can send a resume to a company that supports hiring transgender people. Myself I am in the process of going from a male to female. "
(from: Christine)
" Question: I transitioned in 1997 and in 2001 moved to a new city and workplace where I am not 'out' and only a couple of people know my gender history. In many ways, I enjoy the privilege of my new life and enjoy being treated like any other woman. On the other side, I often feel like I've lost a part of my past and a part of my self. How do I balance my need to be a woman like any other and be true to my unique past? "
(from: Sarah, Portland, Oregon)
