Transgender bill vote brought her to tears

I was so saddened this past week to see HB 415, the bill that would give transgendered people basic civil rights, fail to pass (March 27: "Yes to gay marriage; not to transgender rights").

The day after the vote, while driving to Portsmouth for a board meeting of the New Hampshire Academy of Family Physicians, I started to cry.

Less than an hour later, I would be with other prominent family physicians from across the state, discussing topics relative to the medical care of the population at large, and, ironically, I would lack the basic civil rights that everyone else in that room probably took for granted.
