WASHINGTON - Mara Keisling - 6-foot-2, with frizzy brown hair and a wry smile - is the best-known transgender activist in Washington, which is to say she is not well known at all.

"Trust me,'' Keisling said after finishing a conversation with one congressional staffer. "We have no political clout.''

But as she wound her way through the Rayburn House Office Building, there were sparks of recognition. "Hey, Mara,'' another staffer said warmly when he bumped into her on his way to lunch.
