"As the general public becomes more aware of gender identity issues, questions about how to work with transgender people sensitively are coming up in new places, such as nonprofits.

Kimberly Usher, who gets clothing from Doorstep, contacted The Topeka Capital-Journal after she said a transgender man in front of her at the clothing bank was told he would have to take women's clothing. The man took the clothes and ran out, she said.

"I think that's really wrong, because it's donated stuff," she said. "As a Christian myself, it was sickening"

So all we have to do is wear nifty pink/blue/plaid arm-bands with a T on them and we won't be hassled by nonprofits when our documentation doesn't match our gender presentation. Nothing could possibiley go wrong. Wait I mean possibly, drat something already went wrong....
(Blue for transman, pink for transwoman, plaid for nonconforming/genderfluid.)
