Is President Obama more willing to treat trans people better than GLB people?
The question is fairly simple and doesn't have much deeper subtextual value, but the things it makes one look at in order to answer it effectively are what matters here.
One commenter when I posed the questions asked if it matters that he may be more "friendly" towards trans folks that GLB folks.
Yes, it does matter. Moreover, if its true, and there's a pending situation that can test this to at least some extent, it changes a dynamic that exists where the voices of trans people are not heard in the LGBT community with the same clarity and force as some G/L people.
