The ACLU Palm Center conference featured transgender service members from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Sweden and the U.K.

  3. As an employer, I am looking for people to serve my customer base. Particularly, I want someone who can relate to the transgender population, as this is almost 1% of the population. What an incredible customer base! Maybe if I put myself in that market, I would starve, or suffer malnutrition from vomiting.
