"Notes from the Trans Leadership meeteing with HRC Joe Joe Solmonese 1/5/08 San Francisco
(I wrote this yesterday, as a letter to my ftm group)

I am just returned from the meeting the HRC called with San Francisco
trans community leaders. I am very grateful to Cecelia Chung of the
Transgender Law Center for bringing me in. Yea for south bay
representation. :-)  (I feel like I say that a lot in all of my
communities ;-) )
There were about 50 San Francisco area transgender leaders present, in addition to a few people from HRC."

Having a "total lack of passion" for me is not being polished.
There are many passionate people on the hill.
That guy sounded like a corporate drone.

When you want to reverse issues of trust you have to be open
and you have to show why you should be trusted.
Being a stoic wall seemingly unresponsive to anything does not cut it.

HRC seems to not to have gotten it and I don't think they'll get it any time soon.

Lets just hope for a big democrat majority in contress and in the senate so
any bill will sail through and those calculating dweebs won't have anything
to justify their inaction.
