4.5 years ago tomorrow, I emailed the Labor Dep't about trans protections. That, believe it or not, led to today: https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/how-the-obama-administration-delayed-transgender-workers-pro?utm_term=.vukbdM9ymB …pic.twitter.com/BDIa69OXtu
It took @USDOL 2+ years after EEOC to add #trans protections in 2014; they'd been thinking about it since 2011. https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/how-the-obama-administration-delayed-transgender-workers-pro?utm_term=.sdZDq8KNzb#.kin4wYEZWR …pic.twitter.com/LXPqwUWf6l
Throughout those 2+ years, @WhiteHouse & @USDOL staff were in close contact at key moments: https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/how-the-obama-administration-delayed-transgender-workers-pro?utm_term=.kc6YjZoX3k#.rx9WwXrZLe …pic.twitter.com/gwcsbO0jr2
Neither the @WhiteHouse nor @USDOL has ever disputed a 2013 @BuzzFeedNews story that the WH had "forbidden" Labor from applying Macy.
The White House came as close as it ever has to acknowledging that tonight — https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/how-the-obama-administration-delayed-transgender-workers-pro?utm_term=.kc6YjZoX3k#.rx9WwXrZLe … — w/ their comments to our reporting.pic.twitter.com/GGYxulSyQf
.@USDOL, OTOH, gave the least substantive possible response to ~detailed~ questions about a FOIA ~they~ fulfilled! https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/how-the-obama-administration-delayed-transgender-workers-pro?utm_term=.kc6YjZoX3k#.rx9WwXrZLe …pic.twitter.com/z0my26UvHV
By 12/12, @USDOL had an internal report detailing how law is moving toward #trans protections under sex disc laws. https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/how-the-obama-administration-delayed-transgender-workers-pro?utm_term=.dt8ExVXdlK#.riqyZL6v8Q …pic.twitter.com/pphlIPh8Sk
That was 8 months after Macy. Labor wouldn't start protecting trans fed contractors until 28 months after Macy.https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/how-the-obama-administration-delayed-transgender-workers-pro?utm_term=.dt8ExVXdlK#.riqyZL6v8Q …
This is "sausage-making," yes. But this matters now because, post-election, new sausage-makers are gonna be coming in.
And, as this report shows, it's not only the president who matters. It's all of the jobs up & down the line.https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/how-the-obama-administration-delayed-transgender-workers-pro?utm_term=.dt8ExVXdlK#.riqyZL6v8Q …
