With each small step that we as transsexuals take, progress is made. As people get to know us seeing for themselves that we are good, caring, loving, intelligent, normal people they will become more educated and in turn help make the world a more positive place for all people.<br />Regarding laws to "protect" us from losing our jobs, such laws provide only incentive for some people to do the right thing. I know from first hand experience - I was fired from my job of 29 years 18 months after I began living full time. The laws "protecting" me in the State of Washington didn't.<br />In my view the mere fact that there is almost infinitely more public conversation regarding gender and transsexuals specifically is a very good thing. We ARE people first and foremost and deserve the same exact rights as all other people. The concept of equal except for _____ must be done away with.

Some of the posters over at FreeRepublic sure turn out to be hateful when it come to Transgender people.<br /><br />The Admin Moderator deleted the one thread where the two idiots childishly posted the Google cache of my profile after had I deleted my info on it per the Admin Moderator's request.<br /><br />Also they had identified me wrongly as a Transgender activist from Lansing (they thought they were smart but they certainly aren't).<br /><br />I sent the Admin Moderator an e-mail pointing out my cached profile information posted by the others after I had in good faith deleted the information from my profile as requested.<br /><br />I also explained that they had the wrong person identified as me, and I guess the moderator decided to delete the information before they heard from the activist herself.<br /><br />The other thread the mods deleted a lot of the posts relating to my status, and when the one idiot tried to bring me up in a thread about someone getting mutilated and beheaded in Kenya, the Admin Moderator finally told him to KNOCK IT OFF!

Their majority in the House will be diminished, and it's barely possible they'll lose control there too.<br /><br />Should the GOP find a candidate with plausible economic credentials, not too on the nose with the Fundies, nor too batshit crazy a Dominionist, they'll win the Presidency in 2012. <br /><br />In think this unlikely at this point.<br /><br />But the president in 2017 will be Republican. Whether is his first or second term is debatable.<br /><br />And he'll treat his loyal Fundie base exactly the way Obama has been a "Fierce Advocate" for GLBT rights. Crumbs, gestures, that's all. We'll gain nothing till the Dems get back in after his or her second term, but we won't lose anything of substance.<br /><br />So around 2025 we'll go through the same thing again as we're doing now. Trying to repeal DOMA etc.<br /><br />Lloyd - <br />Thanks. But I suspect her account has been wiped by now too.

In the USA we have 17 times the normal murder rate, remember?<br /><br />And in 37 states, Trans women can be, and routinely are, fired for being Trans.<br /><br />There's no Federal protections either, so Ms Simpson doesn't have the same employment protections as other Obama appointees. <br /><br />Col Schroer's job offer was rescinded as soon as they found out she was trans, national security be damned.<br /><br />IBM fired Prof Conway - a move they've regretted ever since, and is one reason why IBM has a well-enforced trans-inclusive policy now.<br /><br />Kate Craig-Wood avoided the problem - she founded her own firm. Oh yes, her photos don't do her justice, she's not at all photogenic, and looks far more beautiful in person. She had her surgery when I did, in Chonburi, in 2006.<br /><br />And here's GOP Presidential hopeful Pawlenty:<br /><br /><i>Pawlenty was lauded by gay rights activists in 1993, when as a freshman Republican legislator, he supported adding sexual orientation to categories of employment, housing and other discrimination prohibited by state law. He has since said he regrets that vote, a position he reiterated to Newsweek's Howard Fineman.<br /><br />He went on to spell out a change he wants made in the statute: It should not outlaw discrimination against "things like cross-dressing, and a variety of other people involved in behaviors that weren't based on sexual orientation, just a preference for the way they dressed and behaved."</i><br /><br />Gay Good, Trans Bad.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08295181167815517602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573426.post-81459738755640622252010-01-03T00:07:58.215+11:002010-01-03T00:07:58.215+11:00Good list, and why care about some mad freepers?Good list, and why care about some mad freepers?SnoopyTheGoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00920565522498918323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573426.post-89400466446387113902010-01-02T23:09:48.077+11:002010-01-02T23:09:48.077+11:00That thread of FR has got worse.
