A Pro-Trans Argument for a Transexclusive Employment Non-Discrimination Act

摘要

When asked if President Obama would issue an executive order barring federal contractors from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney responded, "the President supports an inclusive ENDA that would provide lasting and comprehensive protections for LGBT people across the country regardless of whether they happen to work for a government contractor, and we look forward to continuing our support of that process and that legislation." Although he has been called "the most pro-gay president" in U.S. history, President Obama's position on ENDA is neither pro-gay nor pro-transgender.
