Mara Keisling has a good – and lengthy – op-ed in The Advocate on why it’s been such a good year for trans people.
- more non-discrimination state and local laws
- white house prioritizes trans issues
- trans health policy improves
- the US & UN speak up for LGBT rights worldwide
- massive study on trans discrimination released
- improved Standards of Care
- all of the federal legislation introduced this congress was trans-inclusive
and that’s only a few. Go read the whole of it. As an activist/advocate of 10+ years, this is really mind-blowing progress (even if we’re all well aware there is plenty more to do).
