The panel of lay witnesses hit a home run in putting real faces and real voices to the persistent discrimination that many transgender Americans endure daily -- and often without legal recourse. Sadly, that's the reality for too many transgender individuals. This hearing is the first step in promoting the understanding that our elected officials need to pass legislation that is fair for all Americans.
