Transgender rights are about more than just bathroom usage okay?

By all rights I should be passed out in bed right now.  I was up at 4am, after only about 3 hours of sleep max., so I could go to the Lobbying event at The Massachusetts Statehouse in support of  "An Act Relative To Gender Based Discrimination and Hate Crimes".
It was truly an amazing event.  I honestly had no idea what to expect, but I'm always game for a good political throwdown, so nothing was going to stop my little old Transgender self from being there!  And boy was it worth it.

300+ trans folks and their allies were gathered at The Grand Staircase to listen to some powerful speeches, learn about the bill we were there trying to support and then speak to our own State Reps and Senators about it.

Nicely done and everso sensible. Even allies now refer to all the anti-discrimination legislation as "bathroom bills." The Freepers and Fonfers* are controlling the conversation in that respect. Bad for us, good for them, bad for everyone but them, I think.
