"Attitudes change in the workplace. Segregation changed in the work- place, and when companies started to do the right thing society changed. Today, when industry leaders do the right thing they are going to change the way America thinks and acts for the better." --Peter Nee, banker Vanessa is currently finishing the manuscript for a comprehensive new full-length book with the working title of Transgender In The Workplace: What EVERY Organization Needs To Know. A remarkable social shift toward increased visibility for transgender workers is occurring in many organizations throughout corporate America. Vanessa's new book is designed to meet the informational needs of business professionals who are--or soon will be--addressing these significant workplace transgender issues. Owners, CEO's, top and middle management, HR/EEO/CLO's and other training professionals, psychologists, corporate attorneys, coworkers and transgender employees will find this book to be an extremely useful tool for understanding the transgender phenomenon. Transgender In The Workplace: What EVERY Organization Needs to Know is destined to become the guide for business leaders as they address the social, legal and human rights issues and concerns of transgender workers. Vanessa is the co-author (with Virginia Ramey Mollenkott, Ph.D.) of Transgender Journeys. This important book on transgender Christian spirituality was honored as a national Lambda Literary Award finalist in 2004. Vanessa's Crossing Over: Liberating The Transgendered Christian was a double finalist for a 2002 national Lambda Literary award. This was the first book in history to be released by any mainstream publishing house--in this case, The Pilgrim Press of Cleveland, Ohio--on the specific topic of transgender Christian spirituality. Vanessa is also the author of Cross Purposes: On Being Christian and Crossgendered, a 1997 book that was instrumental in helping various mainline religious organizations more fully understand the transgender phenomenon. This book was used as a primary resource for studies of gender and sexuality by national religious denominational task forces.
