Well, Congress heard from the transgender community directly for the first time ever this week. If you missed it on C-SPAN (I did), Donna Rose has audio of the hearings here. If you’d prefer to read it, NTCE has transcripts here.
It’s all food for thought. Enjoy.

TRANScend GENDER 
Yes, We Can … and We Will!
This video demonstrates the promise of change, and the hope that it brings, that inspired millions of us to elect Barack Obama as our next President. Today, I choose to believe in this message of hope and I commit myself to doing all that I can to change the hate and bigotry that led to the passage of same-sex marriage bans here in Arizona, and in California and Florida, and a ban on adoption by gay, lesbian and other unmarried couples in Arkansas. Hate can never win!
