I've only been saying that since I started working for trans rights on a national level since 1998 and on this blog since 2006. I have warned you swimming in vanilla privilege TBLG peeps running ostensibly inclusive orgs to include us in the paid decision making ranks of this community or suffer the consequences.
Now the chickens are coming home to roost.
Equality Maryland is finding out the hard way that lack of persons of color on your staffs, boards and in your organizations leads to piss poor policy decisions and jacked up legislation that will not garner the support of TBLG people of color.

All of us, or none of us. Pretty basic choice.
