Talk to them about the value of the work that you all do, because there's more of you doing it. Talk to your trans colleagues. They exist. They're out there. Like they have very strong opinions on this, I am sure. And then talk to a lawyer, talk to an employment lawyer, because your corporate attorneys have very different goals than you do.

Their goal is simply to protect the company and its bottom line. And both they and the federal government and the sort of DOJ are spewing absolute bullshit. So don't let them flood the zone with nonsense. Get a lawyer who can tell you what's nonsense and stand firmly in that because it is.

And then when you start thinking about, as an organization, as a group, as a set of employees, communicating with leadership about these kind of things, know that the law is actually not on their side. It's on yours.

And let them know that they are exposing themselves to vulnerability for malpractice and for civil rights violations and any number of other things that they probably don't want to be on the hook for. This is the leverage that we've got right now.

they aren't interested in the politics of the work you do. They're interested in your benefits, they're interested in you as a worker, but they're not interested in your relationship to the work.
