Rep. Barney Frank is vowing that unlike in 2007, this time he will not allow transgender and gender identity protections to be stripped from ENDA. On the last go-round, Frank endured blistering criticism from many quarters (including  this blog) when he reluctantly removed transgender protections from the bill to ensure its passage. And that did  work last time, although the bill died in its Senate committee. Frank is now facing criticism from fellow House members who supported the bill in 2007.
