In order to earn a 100% rating on the Human Rights Campaign's "Corporate Equality Index 2008," a company needs to support the craziest recent inventions of the GLBT movement: "transgender" or "transsexual" rights and benefits. The company would have to allow employees to "transition" from one "gender" to another, including medical costs, sick leave, etc. -- on the company ticket. (Most companies' benefits include mental health coverage -- and this should take care of the problem. But sadly today, there are all too many mental health practitioners who buy into trans madness, and are only too happy to prescribe hormones and mutilating surgery for their confused patients.)
Read the HRC ratings criteria. Here are the HRC recommended sources for companies to use for "transitioning" employees.
Troubled employees are not changing their sex (that's biologically impossible). Just their "gender." We think... Then again, they do call it "sex reassignment surgery." (But what the troubled employee thinks is all that really matters.) If they want hormone injections, body mutilating surgeries, and cosmetic treatments (that can add up to $100K or more) that let them pretend they're the opposite sex (or is it gender?), any company willing to play along gets a 100% rating from HRC! Here's what the company will have to do: HRC Workplace Gender Transition Guidelines.
Here's the list of companies nationwide that agree to these guidelines. (See Appendix X.) And here are the companies and law firms in Massachusetts that have bought into this insanity. (If House Bill #1722 passes, every company and government entitity -- including public schools -- in Massachusetts will have to support this!)
