Unemployed transfolk: Good news! The good old LGBT Center has something just for you today. The rest of you: Take a minute, one little minute, to picture what it's like to layer a transformed or unique gender on top of the complicated vulnerabilities of your job hunt. Bathroom snafus? Check. Unconscious discrimination? Check. Flat-out bigotry? Sigh, check. New realms of inappropriate sexual "oopsies" on the part of your interviewer? Check! So now, join us in applauding the Transgender Job Fair. Employers who have completed specific training in how not to be jerks set up their tables and welcome well-groomed, résumé-clutching trans people who want jobs.
