Transgender activists and allies have been urging the New York department of Social Service's Human Resources Administration to address the issues of transphobia and harassment that gender variant folks face when seeking access to welfare and/or public assistance programs.

Sign the petition at http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/endtransphobianow/ demanding the HRA review committee adopt the procedures.

I signed the petition. It's time that this issue is addressed.

I've signed this. It's about time that HR Departments are given a rule to disregard gender as a criteria !
