It's about time for some trans issues wins

I got kind of emotional reading Miriam's story yesterday about ob-gyns being told to prepare to treat transgender patients. This is a huge win in the area of health care access, a major issue for trans folks. It's a win on an issue that's particularly close to my heart, the intersection of reproductive and sexual health and trans issues. I've focused on this intersection in my organizing, and it hasn't always been easy to be a voice for trans issues in the reproductive justice movement. I thought about all my friends have done to raise awareness about this crucial problem – it's incredibly inspiring to finally see recognition of our health needs after we've been standing here shouting for so long.
