I worked with a transgendered person for about three months once. She was a temp on a production line for one of our products. The other ladies got pretty upset at having to share the bathroom with her and there were a lot of complaints. At the time I just thought of it as a managerial inconvenience, until I sat down and had lunch with her. She was a nice, quiet, humble woman and I was ashamed of the he-she jokes I had made in discussing it with other managers. From that point on I defended her right to work- use the bathroom etc. she was completely ostricized and eventually quit, but my take away was that something very real must be going on for her to put herself through this and since then I have always supported their right to participate in society as full fledged women/girls. This includes softball and while I don't expect people to be comfortable with it, I don't think i am actually comfortable with it, I do think they can accept it.
