On Sunday, I was one of roughly 100 people who gathered in Niagara Square to rally for transgender rights and protest President Donald Trump’s administration’s 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 Women’s 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 women’s 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 women’s 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.

I didn't realize that Trump was advocating executing "trans" people?!?!?!?!?!
I agree that trans rights are human rights. Everyone should have the right to move crosswise.
I really do feel sorry for the SJWs. They will NEVER be happy as there is always something to protest. Poor widdle snowflakes.
• There are nearly 700,000 transgender individuals in the U.S., or 0.3% of the adult population.
Sorry nothing gets changed for 0.3 % of anything.Hardley a majority.
What next?
Furry rights so that those who get a sexual thrill out of dressing as animals may do so in school and at work?
They used to say that the right to swing your fist ended at the tip of the nose on the person next to you.
Now, the right to dangle your wanker does not end at the line of sight of the nearest underage girl.
Was the director Ed Wood a transgender?
He dressed in fluffy sweaters, dresses, and women’s panties but his sexual partners were women and he married several times.
“....amazing to see the outpouring support....”
“The protest was smaller than I had hoped it would be.”
So, which is it? Amazing it was smaller, or disappointment the turnout was so, well, low?
Cognitive dissonance at work.
Remember when they said that Lawrence v. Texas and the homosexuality question was STRICTLY about the activities of consenting ADULTS in PRIVATE?
Now it is in the public schools and parents are California are prohibited by law from counseling their children until they reach age 18.

Metro Buffalo Population: 1.13 million
Seems more like an irritating drip then an outpouring
So, we’re scouring obscure college papers for sensational boojit !?
Hey Maddy Fowler...FUpervert
Basing your cultural norms around the madness of the crazy is simply insane.
Is that an interfaith marriage?
After reading the screed that they put out, tthe only cure would be a drone strike. Typical SJW crap, enemies within.
Everyone is equal except some are more equal than others.
lol!
