Keep ENDA Transgender Inclusive

Monday October 1, 2007
Last week we celebrated the Senate's passing of the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Act. Make sure you thank your Senators if they voted for passage. But today, members of Congress are trying to dilute the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, by removing protections for transsexuals and transgender individuals. Our community has worked hard to ensure transgender folks will benefit from the same protections as gays and lesbians. Contact your representatives today and let them know how you feel.

POP QUIZ!
Take a stand:
Are transwomen women?

What have you done to support our rights?

Do you speak out about gay and lesbian hatred of trans women?

Or are you in denial about it?

Why is there a anti trans bias to your article on MWMF? Why are trans women’s voices not centered?

Why are our identities up for “debate?” Why aren’t yours?

“Shoot the hostage!” doesn’t go far gere. Or does it?
