Earline Budd, a longtime LGBT community activist who works with Transgender Health Empowerment (THE) finds such distinctions irrelevant.

"At Central Union Mission, something has to be done," says Budd, criticizing the shelter for its gender-specific programs and religious emphasis. "I've spoken with them. I raised hell. We have so many transgender women at THE who have tried to sleep there. Many of these shelters that open up based on religion say they're not discriminating, but they are. Right now, they would be the worst."
