To clear up any confusion as to this matter, I would like to add my perspective as a transgender employee of 21 years with the airline.

Sadly, I was forced to resign earlier this year due to discrimination in internal hiring and suspected conspiracy and slander from the GLBT Employee Resource Group, the GLBT Sales and Marketing Team in conjunction with a certain transgender "Activist" and Corporate Citizenship director.


Yes, Ms. Young, Ms. Lynn and Mr. Wascom will tell congress all about how they support an inclusive ENDA, but how ironic that they will omit the fact that last year they didn't support it and it was I who had addressed this in a report to Mr. Arpey, Mr. Brundage and Ms. Lynn, all of whom never responded to my report. Yet, these people are getting their names in the media alluding to the fact that it was "their" idea.

Additionally, none of these three individuals will ever mention to congress the fact that they themselves condoned a corporate hiring system that in turn rejected this transgender (me) for 60 internal job promotions and that the GLT Sales and Marketing team ensured that her story of discrimination got covered up "AT ALL COST" by appearing to mention her subtly in the community to all of the non-profit organizations they sponsored, solely to protect their brand retention and quarterly sales benchmarks.

And be sure to ask Ms. Lynn about the death threat that this employee received where the company HR department did nothing to resolve the issue and appointed a HR investigator to cover up her story internally via a two page letter to VP Mr. Brundage filled with libelous statements and unfounded assertions so that their internal HR cronies could be protected.

And isn't Mr. Wascom a major lobbyist for the airline as well ?? The internet is chock full of evidence of his campaign contributions, many from this airline.

So ladies and gentlemen, please don't believe everything you hear concerning this ENDA ordeal. This is only a smoke screen and protectionist measure against a discrimination lawsuit in which preceedings are about to commence.

I thank you all for allowing me the opportunity to tell a part of my story here and for me to clarify on the above story.

I have deliberately used a nickname here, which is the same nickname that Mr. Santiago (then Director of Corporate Citizenship) used to describe how he and his GLBT Employee Resource GROUP saw me as a transgender employee.
