But here's thing, how many transgender people are left unaware that GENDA even passed in the Senate, thanks to the lack of coverage from the mainstream groups and blogs. How many aren't taking an active role because they're thinking that without the support of the mainstream groups that it would be a waste of time and effort to even get fired up?<br /><br />Once GENDA passed the Senate, that was the time to light the fire, but no one has stepped up. It's the sound of crickets chirping as far as any media coverage is concerned. Where are the letter writing campaigns, the petitions, the phone banks, the press releases and other statements supporting GENDA, and the requests for endorsments?<br /><br />Like I said, there was a *huge* effort put into marriage equality by the major pro-LGBT organizations, but practically nothing is being put out now that GENDA is on the table.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470325503788056122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8330431430608827222.post-38523060278299978252012-05-05T11:27:41.639-07:002012-05-05T11:27:41.639-07:00I very appreciate this article.

As a trans woman living in San Francisco, I've grown quite accustomed to the so called LGBT community supporting only LGB rights while the T remains silent. Not to mention various feminist groups that are supposed to be about gender equality, yet they actually oppose any legislation for trans gender individuals due to their false misconceptions about us. I see all sorts of so called "open minded" progressives support LGB rights, women's rights, and anti- racist campaigns, which is a great thing as those issues are indeed important. However, I've grown fed up by their drawing the line at trans gender rights. By doing that, they expose their own hypocrisy....Anyanoreply@blogger.com
