LGB Transphobia Rearing Its Ugly Head?

This July 4th my partner and I celebrated America's birthday at the home of a stealth trans sister with her family, friends and neighbors. We enjoyed a well-prepared home cooked traditional barbeque on a hot day, with the trees, umbrellas and canopies provided just enough shade to facilitate good conversation and cheer among the diverse collection of participants.

It was early evening when our host(ess) got a chance to sit at our table, relax, and chat a bit. She was interested to hear my opinion of the recent, and most inelegant, de facto firing of Allyson Robinson, the only transgender executive director of a national LGBT organization: Outserve-SLDN, which provides inclusive support and advocacy for LGBT active service members and veterans.
