Excerpt: Holly Ryan, president of the board of the Massachusetts
Transgender Political Coalition (MTPC), said Sciortino's victory was
also a win for the transgender community. Sciortino made history this
legislative session by sponsoring House Bill 1722, the first statewide
transgender rights legislation in the state's history. The bill, which
would add trans-inclusive language to the state's non-discrimination
and hate crimes laws, died in committee this session, but Ryan said
she is excited that Sciortino will have the chance to refile the bill
next year.
