Jamison Green was born in Oakland, California, in 1948. He was adopted at 1 month of age by a couple who desired a baby girl, and he was given a female first and middle name. Female-bodied and male gendered, James was incapable of conforming to prevailing standards for female behavior.

 

He started refusing to wear dresses before he was two years old, and by the time he entered public school, he was aware that he was different from other boys and girls. People often had difficulty determining the sex of the masculine child wearing a dress, and they would treat him as an object of ridicule. James credits the unconditional love of his adoptive family for much of the inner strength that has enabled him to survive and be successful. He was also fortunate that his family was very stable

and that no one in his immediate or extended family suffered from such adverse conditions as alcoholism, violence or abusive behaviors, or any affective psycho-social disorders.

 

Policy Consulting

 

Since 1994, Jamison Green has worked with attorneys, legislators, and other policymakers to craft language pertaining to gender identity and expression in employment, housing, and public accommodation.

Mr. Green is also a leading academic theorist concerning gender-related policies and practices as they affect gender-variant people in the realms of law, medicine, social services, religion, government, and in the workplace.

Mr. Green has conducted policy reviews to ensure internal consistency, and has developed position papers and explanatory documents that corporations and governmental bodies have used to educate staff, clients, or customers about existing Gender Identity and Expression non-discrimination policies and practices.

For example, Mr. Green worked with Federated Department Stores (Macy's) to implement their non-discrimination policy. He developed a guide for all Macy's and Bloomingdales associates and a more detailed document for Human Resources personnel. The guides were rolled out in April, 2007.

Mr. Green has also collaborated with internal corporate teams to develop successful specific business-case documents that provide the rationale for implementing Gender Identity and Expression non-discrimination policies and practices within their organizations.
