In the early 1970s I co-ran the National Transsexual Counseling Unit with Jan Maxwell.

This was after the War on Poverty funding had been cut.  We had office space for the first few months at the location that had been the offices of the War on Poverty.  The floor was empty because most of the people had left after their jobs had been eliminated when Nixon turned the war on Poverty into the class war on the poor.  The offices had been leased and remained available.

(In 1969 before all the draconian cuts when there was still a war on poverty, social workers in the Berkeley Welfare office were actually fighting to get SRS paid for by the Medicaid Program.)
