The reality is that many LGBTQ workers don't even make it through the interview process.

A 2015 study from the National Center for Transgender Equality found that transgender and gender-nonconforming people have an unemployment rate of....

I just can't imagine why any business would be reluctant to hire an brave and stunning transperson or a genderspecial. I just can't!

It's not like most of them are pathological narcissists who nobody likes to hang around with and would turn the work environment into a great mess.

Yes, every business wants an employee who's going to be starting fights with customers or running to HR with complaints every five minutes.

Don't forget the legendary dress erections and the hissy fits, they're very important!

I used to know a guy that, when told to get his life together, would sabotage his own job applications and interviews by acting like an idiot and a crybaby. I'm sure some of them are like that.
