I have been watching the transgender activist panic regarding ENDA.
Many seem concerned with the current language not being specific enough even though it is modeled on the same sort of generalized language that many other non-discrimination and hate crimes laws that we as LGBT/T people have successfully managed to get enacted in the past.
Because your favorite term isn't used doesn't mean the general terms gender identity and gender expression real or perceived do not cover you.
