			This is not really a question, but I wanted to share something that made me    
 
My employer is VERY progressive. And I knew that already. 
 
Today while searching through our policy database, I randomly came across the policy on Transgender and Transitioning. 
 
I can't post it all here due to compliance, but I can give you snapshots: 
 
-advocate for diversity- 
-maintain a workplace environment that embraces diversity- 
-every employee makes a unique contribution- 
-fairness and equity ...defining characteristics of the workplace environment- 
-discrimination/harassment will not be tolerated or condoned- 
 
-managing an empolyee who is transitioning= ...demonstrate an understanding, sensitive approach to his/her needs and concerns- 
 
It just made me appreciate my employer even more...
