This injustice just came to my attention. Please send emails.

One of the boards which I belong to is the Gender Identity Center of Colorado. There was a post about Kim Dower, a pre-op transsexual who wished to start her cross living and wanted to dress as a woman on the job. Ms. Dower is employed by King Sooper, a part of the Kroger chain of grocery stores. The company would not allow her to, and even demanded medical records (which is against the law).
Denver does have a law protecting transsexuals from workplace discrimination.
We all remember Peter Oiler and how he was fired for crossdressing off the job. How many times have we heard where only one crossdresser particpated in the demonstrations against Winn Dixie.
I believe that it is time we stand up for members of our community, To take a stand saying that we will not tolerate discrimination against us. I am asking us all to be activist right from our computers, to send e-mails to Kroger http://www.kroger.com/customercomments.htm and tell them that we will not patronize them as long as they practice discrimination against us.
Kroger is a national company. If we flood their office with e-mails we can I believe make a difference for all of us.
Thank You
