While there are many laws that prohibit discrimination based on gender or sexuality, you may have questions when navigating the job search, such as:
What avenues of support and recourse can I access if I experience discrimination?
Will my job provide benefits that cover my gender affirming care?
Will my job provide benefits that cover my family?
Will I be supported as a Transgender, Non Binary, or Gender Nonconforming person within this company?
