Dallas County Commissioner Maurine Dickey Compares Transsexuality With Being Overweight

The Dallas County Commissioners Court continues to debate adding gender identity/expression  language to their recently passed sexual orientation only policy for Dallas County employees and is developing into a textbook case as to why we transpeople despise incrementalism.

[...]

While she believes the recent decision of the Dallas County Commissioners Court to add sexual orientation to the policy was long overdue, Dickey said she thinks adding gender identity/expression to the policy could lead to adding "overweight people" or "people with diabetes."
