That Trans Thread

[Jehanne]

I hope you're right. We seem to be regressing in that and many other regards.

The same thing happened with voting rights, which were given to women by certain states only to be taken away and restored later on. Transgenders, gays and other "nonconformers" have been around since the dawn of humanity; we are not going to disappear. I do not believe that Western law is going to be able to accommodate institutionalized discrimination against us. If it is one thing that Republicans value, it is money, and a lot of companies are going to refuse to do business with public bigots, even if they are bigots themselves, in private.
