It needs to be publicised. Because right now, HRC 100 means very little to those who are transsexual or intersexed.

I know how important each and every person deserves equal pay, benifits, pay increases. All equality is only humane to all persons with different individually perspectives on how they choose to live their life. I have no problem with different individuals who lead a different life than myself. Yahoo should be able to link these individuals to more than just a handful a sites to visit.

Can't say they're persecuted. And all of the Christians I know (albeit my generation has no issue with this subject) none of them are 'anti-gay.' I gasp... It also doesn't matter if you don't like the subject, the issue is not going to go away because you don't like it, and its wrong to give unequal treatment to a portion of society for something that really has no impact on you. Imagine your best friend. Imagine that tomorrow that person tells you they're gay. Did anything about them really change overnight? Are you really going to instantly stop being friends with them? Does what they do in the bedroom have any impact on you and what you do at home or at work? I doubt anyone can honestly answer yes to any of these questions. The only way a modern society is going to survive as a cohesive unit is for differences like this to be at the least--tolerated--whether you like the difference or not. Grow up.

The HRC bar for Transgender benefits is set ridiculously low. For example, some companies only "benefit" to Transgendered people is that they will pay for ocassional visits to Religious Reparative Therapists of the company's choosing to "pray away the <strike>Gay</strike> Trans". That's enough to qualify. Whether one such dubious "benefit", or all genuine ones that are recognised by the AMA as "medically necessary" makes no difference, they all score the same. Does Yahoo! provide medical benefits for necessary hormone replacement therapy? Surgical therapy? I've seen some companies claim that as they provide insurance benefits for mastectomies, they count as "surgical benefits" for the transgendered. Even if they only cover cases of breast cancer, and specifically exclude reassignment surgery for Transmen. If Yahoo! provides genuine benefits, as some companies do, they deserve extra recognition for that. It needs to be publicised. Because right now, HRC 100 means very little to those who are transsexual or intersexed. And if Yahoo! doesn't provide them, then please could Yahoo! pride correct that situation. We have the data that it will only cost the company an extra 2c per month per employee in the initial phase, and actually less over the long term as fewer psychiatric visits are needed. Finding an insurance partner though can be a problem, most insurance companies default to exclude any benefits to Trans people whatsoever. Could I ask for some elaboration please?
