Congress has concluded its first ever hearing on transgender bias in the workplace. The House Committee on Education and Labor’s subcommittee on Health, Employment, Labor, and Pensions, chaired by New Jersey Representative Robert E. Andrews (Democrat), heard from several witnesses testifying on the issue.
The historic hearing was Congress’ first serious look at the varied issues involved in transgender job discrimination. And representatives from both sides of the political aisle appeared supportive of ending transgender workplace discrimination.
