IThumbnail image for backtoschool.jpg am still stunned by last week's statement from Capitol Hill about Congressmembers' miseducation on trans issues in ENDA:

    There continues to be concerns on the part of many members about the transgender issue, particularly about the question of places where people are without their clothes -- showers, bathrooms, locker rooms, etc. We still have this issue about what happens when people who present themselves as one sex but have the physical characteristics of the other sex, what rules govern what happens in locker rooms, showers, etc.
