"ALBANY, N.Y. (CBSNewYork/AP)– A new regulation protecting transgender New Yorkers from discrimination is taking effect.

The change, which became effective on Wednesday, expands the state's existing anti-discrimination rules to prohibit discrimination against a transgender person when it comes to jobs, loans, schools and public accommodations."

I wish I was more optimistic about how much good this is going to do in the short term. It's an important step, but, until public opinion completely catches up, it's way too easy to get around. I feel just a little safer living in NY now.
April 22, 2015, the day of my first face to face pass in gender neutral clothes and no makeup. It may be months to the next one, but I'm good with that!

Being transgender is just a phase. It hardly ever starts before conception and always ends promptly at death.

They say the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train. I say, climb aboard!

Be who you are.
