To Whom it May Concern:

My legal and biological name is Katy Marie Anderson. I am from Bozeman,MT,USA. I have gotten bullied my whole life because of me being different with my learning disabilities and life has gotten far harder once I came out of the closet to my friends and family and recently to my co workers at the Texas Department of Criminal Justice at the Estelle Unit in Riverside,Texas,USA. I go by Kay Micheal Anderson in the free world for that is who I am. I am a transgender man. I have Gender Identity Disorder and I go to a counselor when I have money. I am trying my hardest to keep my job at the moment but because I am transgender and love women and have to claim I am lesbian because transgender is a new thing in the world and the work place that is known about and in the state of Montana and Texas they don't see it as anything more than an excuse and can fire you over it for they have the right to refuse you a job and fire you for your alternative life style. I understand that harassment codes are in play but no matter how many times I file a harassment charge on the ones that hurt me at work they just keep doing it in different ways. I have gone through my rank and have tried to tell the higher ups of my job of what is going on. But I am just a lowly Correctional Officer working for the State of Texas Prison System and have no other way to fight for myself other then writing this petition on change. org to hopefully be free of this injustice that I have been getting severed for the past 6 months at my job.

Sincerely,

Katy Marie Anderson
