This diary is in support of fellow Kossack Rserven, and transgendered people everywhere. Please go recommend her diary, now.
I cannot believe that Barney Frank said the following re: eliminating the "T" from LGBT in ENDA:
I believe that it would be a grave error to let this opportunity to pass a sexual orientation nondiscrimination bill go forward, not simply because it is one of the most important advances we’ll have made in securing civil rights for Americans in decades, but because moving forward on this bill now will also better serve the ultimate goal of including people who are transgender than simply accepting total defeat today.
Throwing our transgendered brothers and sisters under the bus IS total defeat. I do not want half of a rotten loaf. Either we're all free, or none of us are free.
Again, please go see Robyn's diary and give it a recommend. This website is the last place any transgendered person should ever feel alone.
Just as John Kerry refused to throw gay people under the bus for political expediency, we need to stand united as a community and not allow transgendered people to become sacrificial lambs.
