ENDA will not put an end to discrimination and it certainly won't change many people's minds concerning us, but it will let the country know that the US gov will no longer turn a blind eye or wink at discrimination and bigotry in the workplace. It is a much needed piece of legislation to remind people that they can't get away with treating transpeople as other than human. Immigrants from certain regions of the world, many of whom are employers and office mates, import their de-facto institutionalized bigotry from their countries of origin and so need to be reminded that we are a nation of laws and we do not stand for that kind of treatment here.Penny Thanks for the very well reflected piece, Robbi!
