When Bruce becomes Caitlyn, and the trouble with
the toilets...
One of the biggest news stories of 2015 came about when former
USA Olympian Bruce Jenner announced that he intended to live as a
woman: Caitlyn Jenner. The resulting press led to public discussion
on the topic of Caitlyn and gender reassignment, with many people
having their own opinion on the transition and on gender
reassignment in general.
Probably unsurprisingly however, this public debate did not
explore the implications gender reassignment can have in an
employment context. In this respect things could be changing very
soon for Isle of Man employers, who may want to think ahead to
avoid falling foul of the new legislation which will be landing on
their desks before the end of the year.
