Chandler, AZ

In the last 2 days I walked 8.88 miles.  That's not very much for me, but at least I have still made my minimum 10,000 steps a day goal.  On the mapped route to Washington D.C., that brings us to Chandler, AZ.  Here's a list of the points of interest in Chandler, a quiet suburb of Phoenix.  Here is an interesting history of Chandler.

**************************

AZ Central is running a story about a "Chandler transgender man and the American Civil Liberties Union have filed a lawsuit against Dignity Health, a large health provider, alleging discrimination based on sex because the company denied him coverage as an employee for transition-related health care."

The City of Chandler's Diversity Office's mission statement says:
To promote mutual respect and inclusion in Chandler. We work toward the elimination of prejudice and discrimination among all citizens within our community.  We celebrate our mix of ages and genders,  persons with disabilities and diversity of racial, cultural, religious, socio-economic, sexual orientation or other personal identifying markers.  No mention is made of gender orientations....but, perhaps that would fit under "other personal identifying markers."

There is a mention online of transgender counseling that is available in Chandler.
