Whether or not Olympic legend Bruce Jenner becomes its new champion, the transgender-rights movement is making remarkable strides on many fronts — ranging from mass-media visibility to legal protections. Yet despite the gains, activists say many transgender Americans, far more so than gays and lesbians, remain vulnerable to violence, discrimination and lack of understanding.

If I as a white male decide that I am a black female, I expect the affirmative action laws to be applied to me just the same as they would be to any black female.
Anybody who disagrees is a racist homophobe who belongs in a prison cell.
I am a black female lesbian disabled midget only when I choose to be, the rest of the time I am a heterosexual male of German ancestry of slightly below average height. Aint choice grand! Tomorrow, I may choose to be leprechaun who hunts unicorns.
I have decided that I will be a burqa wearing female muslim lesbian who must have full access to women’s showers, dressing rooms and facilities. Also, I wish to marry my dachschund mostly for tax benefits,and anyone who opposed this will be looked upon as racist/homophobe/islamiphobe/xyzphobe
A mental illness is still a mental illness even if a majority of those in the loony bin decide to call it normal.
I know, I know, having so much time and money that one starts obsessing about what gender one really is, is a serious psychological condition that should be discussed more often.
Personally I will keep the white title.
They (the blacks) always seem to be walking around bitter and never smile, except tomorrow when the food stamps come in.
Only reason I know this is because I hate going into town on foodies day.
No so much these folks:
“remain vulnerable to violence, discrimination and lack of understanding.”
I understand, they are all nuts!
That ex-wife of his seems like a destroyer of men extraordinaire. Maybe we should sic the Kardashians on the terrorists. I can see it now, the misbegotten SOBs hiding out in burqas just to get away :->
He turns into a woman and becomes a lousy driver.
At least the Supreme Court plays by it’s own rules.
It’s a court one day and a trashy stand up comedy club the next.
It just depends on what they’re geared toward when they wake up each morning.
The Supreme Court has become a laughing stock. Use to be the Chief Justice presided. Now we have something more like a playwrite presiding, making it up as he goes.
6000 years of history, and it doesn’t matter. They make it up as they go, and Western Civilization has no standing before this court.
As a self-identified unicorn, I find that offensive.
many transgender Americans
MANY? oh really. and the numbers are that high are they??
some how I dont; think so
Well, this is due to his good Catholic upbringing.
People like Jenner are mentally ill.
They need psychological help, not a quick visit to the local PIK-UR-SEX franchise.
Lol, that’s terrible!
Living with and putting up with the female K’s have probably screwed Jenner up. Hell I’d become a woman too.
I say we should revoke their drivers license .
Transgender rights? In all my life, I don’t believe I’ve ever met one. So they demand special rights?
I would like to kill a unicorn...........
