Transgender Inclusion?
Here is another instance in which members of the lesbian/gay community are offered a chance to obtain protective legislation only if they are willing to sideline the concerns of transgender people. It’s the choice that was presented in the United States House of Representatives this year with the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA). In that case the bill’s sponsors removed transgender protections in order to gain more support, only to lose the support of the vast majority of lesbian and gay rights organizations.
