Dallas County Expands Rights-Omits The Trans Community

Dallas County is one of the blue political and liberal progressive oases in sea of Texas red politics, but even that blue political oasis ignored a section of the Dallas County population recently.
[...]

The reason?   County Judge Clay Jenkins told the Dallas Voice Instant Tea blog they were under the impression that sexual orientation and gender identity were the same and would cover trans people.

Um, no they aren't

If the judge will take the first case involving gender differences and declare, as binding state legal precedent, that they are indeed within the purview of the ordinance's sexual orientation language, then I for one will not be too proud to accept his findings in favor of transgendered people.  That is what happened here in California, where our State Supreme Court declared that gender differences were included in legal protections that covered sexual orientation.  I am just as happy with getting it in that way as any other. We have it, its ours.
