One of the dirty secrets of the LGBT "community" in the U.S.A. is that the "T" -- transgender folks -- usually get the short end of the stick when they're addressed at all. So imagine my surprise when a high court in the Caribbean, a region thought of as rigidly homophobic and "behind" the U.S.A., released a ruling that acknowledges transgender identities, even as it refuses to legally protect them.
But defying logic, it upheld the convictions of the Guyanese 4, refusing to protect this newly acknowledged identity. . . . Unfortunately, the judgment also upheld the existing law, which states that men cannot wear female attire (and vice versa) in public "for any improper purpose."
