Comfortable
Nathan in an Uncomfortable Situation (Part
2)
I
have told you about my friend Nathan who is slowly evolving into who he really
desires to be. Whether he changes his name to Natasha, Jessica or Marie; he
will always be the most genuine person that I know. I must say, he is more
fashion conscious that many women that I work with; his nails are perfectly
manicured and his jewelry is always coordinated with his outfit. He continues
to be comfortable in his own skin; while surrounded by people who sneer and
stare at him. Nathan takes each uncomfortable situation that he is placed in.
Nathan and I work around people who believe that if you are of a minority –
Gay, Jewish, black, female, transgender, or any ethnicity covered by Equal
Employment Opportunity laws – that you are inferior.
The
latest circumstance is his choice of restroom to use while on the job.
Understanding the law and finding a definition to cover is a hurdle that must
be crossed. The support of the can cause
Nathan to reside in an uncomfortable situation, as he works in an area with fifty
employees – 2/3’s are women who will not be happy to share a restroom with him.
Stay tuned…
