Big Changes For The Transgendered

Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm has issued an order that bars discrimination against state workers based on their "gender identity or expression". I believe that falls under the *transgendered* category. Gay rights activists are excited, and slightly turned on, at this ruling:

"Coming out as transgender is a career-ender. Transgendered people lose their jobs all the time," foundation policy director Sean Kosofsky told the Detroit Free Press.

Shit ya, all the time. Go to any unemployment line across the country and you'll find yourself tripping over fired transgendered workers.

The much maligned transgendered is the latest minority group to be recognized in Michigan--home of River Rat--

The order, which Granholm signed Wednesday, adds gender identity to a list of other prohibited grounds for discrimination that includes religion, race, color, national origin, age, sex, sexual orientation, height, weight, marital status, politics, disability or genetic information.

What about people that can't play musical instruments using only their asses? Why aren't they on the list? Do you know how many people get fired each year because they can't play a musical instrument using only their ass? About as many people that get fired because they're transgendered.
