We discussed a post at the Bay Area Reporter titled "Leaders: ENDA will get House vote this month", specifically comments from the executive director of the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE), Mara Keisling.

Even as NCTE gears up for it's  "Lobby Day 2010″, Keisling said of the changes to the ENDA language concerning transgender people:

    "it might be harmless or it might be horrible."

Show my genital status before using the right bathroom?  You've got to be kidding me.

My genitals or what bathroom I use has nothing to do with whether not or I should be given protection at my job.  Figure it out, folks.
