Trans Rights Warrior Tracy Bumpus Called Home

In what was a major shock to me, I was informed that Tracy Bumpus, a longtime activist in the New York area and plaintiff in the successful Bumpus v New York Transit Authority case has passed away.

I was getting to know this my 45 year old 'baby sister' as I jokingly called her.  She was originally from Oklahoma and we were part of that successful effort that helped kill the unjust MD bill.  She was working on completing her master's degree in social policy and was days from doing so from Empire State College while working as a program assistant at the AIDS Project of East Bay.   She had already signed up for a second master's program for teaching and formerly was a life skills trainer and coach for Housing Works Transgender Transitional Housing Program.   She's had some challenges, but she rose above them to become a respected trans rights warrior
