General Motors: In 2008, GM was the only automotive company to
attend a job fair at Atlanta’s Southern Comfort, an annual conference on
transgender issues. Meanwhile, Tina Seitz, who transitioned in 2006
while working at GM, tells us that during that time her employer
recruited her to assist in creating transgender-related training
materials for the company. “GM has made every effort to go beyond merely
tolerating transgender individuals,” Seitz says. “They’ve reach reached
out, striving to learn what the company can do to make our work
experience as stress-free and rewarding as possible.”
