On Sunday, I was one of roughly 100 people who gathered in Niagara Square to rally for transgender rights and protest President Donald Trumps administrations recent legislation on trans bathroom rights. It was amazing to see the outpouring support for the trans community from individuals of all ages and backgrounds.
The protest was smaller than I had hoped it would be. After the Buffalo Womens March, I was optimistic that the thousands of folks who showed up for that event would continue to advocate for the minority groups impacted by the Trump administration, like transgender people. Unfortunately, this was not the case.
If you consider yourself an advocate for womens rights, then it is essential to include trans women in that advocacy, because trans women deserve equal rights just as much as cisgender (non-transgender) women do.
On Feb. 22, the Trump administration sent a letter to public school districts, which revoked protections for transgender public school students that allowed them to use the bathroom that corresponds with their gender identity.
Last May, President Obama sent a similar letter to public school districts indicating that Title IX, which protects students from discrimination based on sex, also encompasses protections for transgender students. (snip)
The Trump administration purports that this shift in position is not about discrimination, but is rather a states rights issue.
Proponents of Jim Crow laws and segregation in public schools cited states rights. Anti-suffragists who opposed womens right to vote claimed their stance was about states rights. And perhaps most famously and egregiously, slave owners claimed their right to own slaves was a states rights issue. (snip)
These bills undermine trans peoples very humanity and right to exist.

Only the propagandists said that. Scalia's eyes were wide open about the implications. And he was proven correct.
How about “Trans Fat”???
No they're not.
Perverts are not human.
Ignore Muddy Fowler
And don't bother looking up the definition of "Cognitive Dissonance."
That ignorant clueless imbecile is it...
