Discrimination against transgender people is costing New York millions, according to a new report.

The study, released yesterday by the UCLA's Williams Institute, says that housing and employment discrimination cost the state millions of dollars as people lean on public assistance instead.

According to the study, workplace discrimination could cost the state about $7 million each year.

Interesting, so basically it's a "We get paid - you get paid" situation?
Sometimes when life is a fight - we just have to fight back and say screw you - I want to live.

Sometimes we just need to believe.

The converse is even more true-- we don't get paid, you have to pay through the nose!!
I refuse to have a war of wits with a half armed opponent!!

Wiser now about Post Op reality!!
