Thank You, Ms Stanton

From a report about proposed bills protecting TS and IS people in Nevada:

    Following the SB 331 hearing, Chairman Schneider opened the hearing on SB 368, which would prohibit housing discrimination against transgender people. Equality Nevada Executive Director Lauren Scott, and vocal advocate for civil rights, related a story of housing discrimination she faced when she first relocated to Nevada from Florida. Senator James Settlemeyer (R-Minden) questioned the accuracy of Ms. Scott's testimony, but she was not afforded an opportunity to respond as the Chair called an end to the meeting due to the lateness of the hour, telling both Sen. Settlemeyer and Ms. Scott that their disagreement could be handled off the record.

Because of course, there's no discrimination against Trans people in Nevada. None. Doesn't happen. I mean, the Senators would have noticed it, wouldn't they?

The timing was certainly fortunate, though it's unknown how much it will persuade the committee.

The question is, and always was, why aren't these bigots comfortable in their own skin? Why do they see life as a zero sum gain? Ms. Stanton is one of those women who mistakenly think that there is only so much estrogen to go around. If we take some, her very womanhood will be in jeopardy. How ridiculous....
