When Charlotte Preece interviewed David Schroer in 2005, he seemed like the perfect candidate for a job with the Congressional Research Service (CRS). Schroer was a retired colonel and Special Forces commander and had been involved in combat missions and as a counter terrorism advisor to the Pentagon's elite. Impressed, Preece made a job offer that Schroer accepted. Then a few weeks before his first day, Schroer shared at lunch with Preece that he planned to start his job as a woman named Diane. The news shocked Preece, who felt Schroer applied under false pretenses. The next day she called David and said she couldn't hire him.

Although the current version of ENDA doesn't grant these special workplace rights to transsexuals, there's strong belief that any future version would be all-inclusive.
