"Genny Beemyn, the director of the Stonewall Center at University of Massachusetts Amherst, reflects on recent setbacks on trans rights – and why victory is inevitable.
There is a long way to go before transgender people throughout the United States are treated with respect and dignity, as shown by the opposition in some places to trans people using restrooms that match their gender identity."

If we accept the premise of this article, the improvement of FFS technology, voice surgery, etc., actually makes it worse, since so many of us pass so well, that when we go stealth, people assume they don't know one of us. While I strongly believe the decision to move openly is an intensely personal one, I also consider living openly one of the greatest services we can do for our community.
Have you read my short story The Eve of Triumph?
