This is the book to show your boss Jun 11, 2009
The thing that's great about this book is that it doesn't waste time trying to justify the TS's existence. It simply lays out, in terms that business people can understand and respect, why it's in a company's best interest to discourage workplace discrimination against trans people, and how to go about the process of guiding an employee's coming out in such a way as to minimize negative effects on the workplace. It may not be a warm and fuzzy book, but it also won't make you look like a kook or a flake.
Just keep in mind that the suggestions made are only a guideline, and may need to be tweaked, or negotiated to insure the best coming out process for you and the people you work with.

Fantastic tool for everyone researching and implementing transition in the workplace Oct 21, 2007
Dr. Jillian Weiss has produced a fantastic tool to help individuals in any or all sorts of organizations prepare for an employee's transtion at work. She covers all of the bases from the historical to those related to best practices, and she also takes time to speak to employees in transition about what they can/should to manifest a successful transition in their workplace. The only words of caution I'd offer are that, as Dr. Weiss is a lawyer, her book is heavy on the law. This is not necessarily a bad thing as it certainly sets the stage for the world in which we must operate when addressing these issues, but as is the case when one does this, the information might not be as current now as when Dr. Weiss wrote it. The other caution has to do with the models she presents for working through a transition. The models are valid, but an organization would have to massage them to make sure they fit with their organizational theme or ways of doing things. Other than those cautions, this is a fantastic and valuable tool...comprehensive, complete and easy to read.
