Supporting the Transgender Non-Discrimination Act: Part 1
By Marc Korman.
http://maryland-politics.blogspot.com/2008/07/supporting-transgender-non.htmlI recently had dinner with my father and the transgender legislation ballot referendum came up. He had not heard anything about it, because despite being vocal and caring deeply about national politics, he has almost zero interest in the local end. After I started to give him an explanation of the issue, he cut me off and said "they don't bother me, I won't bother them." Meaning he would vote against any effort to repeal the County Council-approved law because he does not really care if someone is transgendered because it does not affect him. I doubt convincing others will be as easy, so I thought I would offer some reasons why I oppose the effort to repeal the Transgender Non-Discrimination Act. Part one will deal with the policy grounds. Part two will deal with the political grounds.
