A list outlining policies for the use of public workplace facilities by trans individuals. Key points include that trans women (biological men) and trans men (biological women) should not use facilities designated for the opposite biological sex, as this would make them no longer single-sex.

I am deeply, deeply thankful for the differences between USA Walmart and the Canadian Walmart. I have been nothing but supported as a trans person at my CA Walmart. Obviously there are less supportive individuals, but the company itself has been 100% resolute in their affirmation of my rights!

1. Nearly a century ago, Nazis burned trans books to usher in fascism.
