Gender and Gender Identity Transgender Team Members have the right to discuss their gender identity or expression openly, or to keep that information confidential. Management, human resources and coworkers should not disclose information that may reveal a Team Member’s transgender status or gender non-conforming presentation to others. That kind of personal or confidential information may only be shared with the transgender Team Member’s consent and with coworkers who truly need to know to do their jobs. Information about a Team Member’s transgender status (such as the sex they were assigned at birth) can constitute confidential medical information under privacy laws like HIPAA.
