Ask a transsexual anything

[TaraJo]

GL(B) fought against transgender rights for quite a while, and to this day T feels tacked on and largely forgotten within GLBT groups themselves. Obviously, someone like me stands out in just about any crowd... but most of us don't.

I don't know if I would say they're exactly working against us as much as they're neglecting us. The best example I can think of is the HRC and Barney Frank who were more than willing to exclude gender identity protections from the ENDA bill in an effort to get it passed. It wasn't that they were directly hostile towards us, but they were more than willing to throw us under a bus to pass the legislation they wanted.
