title: Diversity in action; dealing with a transgender issue.
abstract: The problem of gays in the military, police, and security has received considerable publicity in recent years, but what happens when a male security officer, with an excellent performance record, decides to announce a gender change? How a hospital's security and resources departments handled the transition, and what transpired afterwards, is described in this detailed and frank article.
