Mar 20, 2007Quickie Link: USA: Recent Firings Serve as a Reminder of the Employment Struggles Unjustly and Sometimes Illegally Faced by Transsexuals

(USA) - Steven Stanton - a confirmed transsexual and the city manager of Largo, Florida - was recently put on administrative leave, pending being fired by the City Commission. Around the same time, Julie Nemecek, an assistant dean and associate professor at Spring Arbor University in Michigan, was fired, allegedly because she, too, was in the process of transitioning from male to female.
