And thanks to the work of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and the National Center for Transgender Equality, there's new evidence that the "T" has seen the least progress of the other three letters of that oft-used acronym. "Injustice At Every Turn," shows just how far transgender people remain from full equality.
