Hashtags: #nerdland #trans
From the first appearance at a trans event by a sitting Cabinet
Secretary to the incredible list of policy victories we’ve achieved in
the past year, trans policy is now firmly part of the political
debate. Of equal importance is that now, the conversation around the
country is moving in our favor, symbolic of important cultural
progress in our movement.
Capitalizing on what seems to be a trans moment, Mara Keisling will
join the Melissa-Harris Perry Show on a nationally televised panel
discussing the movement for transgender equality. Mara will join other
trans advocates to examine recent trans policy victories and current
challenges.
But to help her talk about these policies, Mara wants to tell America
what kind of discrimination trans people face at all levels of
employment. And the stories she tells could be yours. Fill out the
form below to tell us about a time you faced gender identity
discrimination when looking for a job, in the hiring process, or while
you were on the job.

Even if Mara doesn’t have time to share your story, it will help us in
our national advocacy work. No identifying information will be shared
outside of NCTE: we only need to contact you if we use your story.
