Best kept secret in the business world

It has been twenty years or more since I was researching transgender or transsexual employment. So don't ask me for names. Computer crashes have wiped most of my years of research. I know, back up, back up, back up. Problem is, even the people we trust our computer repairs to manage to dice our drives. You aren't interested in that though as you already know all the computer horror stories. Probably lived through a few of them on your own.

The best kept secret in the business world is many companies actively seek transgendered people. This isn't the normal employment people in the front office. These are the shadow people one never meets unless they have been contacted by them or have been given a reference to them. One doesn't find them by chance. There are many reasons they work and hire from the twilight zone. Bigotry is a biggie even in companies looking for extraordinarily gifted people. Who doesn't hate someone smarter than themselves? Especially if it's one of those "not us" people.

I used to have a list of contacts but as I wrote earlier... So do the research and google it yahoo it, research it a couple dozen different ways if you're looking. Some of the companies are IBM, AT&T.
Here's a start, go from there.

Usually a good idea to hire

from groups that employers normally avoid. At a time when the right high-tech competence was scarce I was responsible for hiring three persons. They turned out to be similar in some aspects: immigrants, female, 40+, single mothers (divorced) of school-age children. All factors that triggered more or (usually) less motivated "discard CV"-reflexes with employers in this particular culture and time. One of them turned out be very good. The other two excellent!
