Transphobia among our alleged allies..

These days, I expect transphobic remarks and insults to come from the mainstream media (such as Saturday Night Live) and the extreme alleged-Christian right.  But when they come from people who you would think are your allies for civil rights and equality, it continues to show that we need more education within the equality and Democratic Party fronts on the lives of transgender people, especially transgender women.

It is very accepted and understood in the equality community that the use of the word "->-bleeped-<-" is an insult to transgender people in the same manner that the "N-word" is towards African Americans and the three letter "F-word" is towards Gays and Lesbians.

The Arizona List sure took action quickly! At least that shows where the group stands at.
