LGBT Civil Rights and Activism

which is part of the reason why I posted this article for discussion. I've never spent any time around a transgender (at least to my knowledge and my apologies if that is the wrong term) so it is difficult for me to form any opinions on this subject.

There are such a broad array of topics to cover regarding the "rights" of the transgender that I feel naive even trying to put myself in the mindset of a transgender. Employment discrimination, housing discrimination, insurance coverage and social associations are just a few items that I can see the transgender population requiring rights protections.

I'll do my best to keep an open mind and not be too shocked by what happens.
