http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/01/06/1052178/-The-State-of-Transgender-Rights:-Looking-forward-and-backIn the wake of the beating of Chrissy Lee Polis in a Baltimore McDonalds, the governor had released a statement which included the following:
it is clear that more must be done to protect the rights and dignity of transgendered people. In the struggle for justice and equality for all, I'm committed to working with the Maryland General Assembly during the next legislative session to increase awareness and provide even greater protections for transgendered people.
There is hope that recent passage of transgender protections in Howard County, MD presages something greater, but there is also worry.
