Living with Discrimination as a Transgender Woman
http://maryland-politics.blogspot.com/2008/08/guest-blog-living-with-discrimination.html8/21/2008
My name is Maryanne Arnow, a transgender woman, native Marylander, and
Montgomery County Resident of more than 35 years, openly living in
mainstream public society.
In the last year, I've had to face distinct increases in
discrimination and denigration from the general public in the normal
course of my daily life. This is occurring directly as a result of a
local campaign from conservative groups that continually foster
unwarranted fears, stereotypical misrepresentations, and highly
negative references to transgender people, in the public eye of
perception.
