What an amazing day it was. I was lucky to be present at the most positive sign of progress ever seen for gender identity in this country. Every Democratic representative who attended the hearing spoke up emphatically in support of gender identity antidiscrimination legislation, and the phrase "this is overdue" was echoed again and again.

It was great to meet Autumn Sandeen from the other coast, she's even nicer in person than she is in the blog. I got to see her mind at work as she took in the information to write up her account of the hearing. She was literally wearing rose-colored glasses there. Now that's stylin.
