Thank you for your very important insights in your comments. The ENDA fallout, like in all things complex, is much larger than HRC or Barney Frank could have imagined.

I was greatly disappointed when our “representatives” in Congress decided to remove the coverage for trans-folk from ENDA. It only opens the door for people who believe transgender issues to be completely “fetish” in origin.

This also will cause people to re-examine who they are, and how they think of themselves. For example, though the world sees a male, I think of myself as a woman. I also consider myself hetero (when DRAB) or something very close to Lesbian (when I’m able to express myself as a woman). If I were to come out on the job and get fired, would that be a violation of the law, because I would be a Lesbian-in-the-making? From what I have read, I would think it would not, simply because the workplace could posit that who I am is defined by what is (or is not) between my legs.

It is this whole subject that has caused my own journal to be rather “dark”.

Society as a whole really needs to get past this twisted, perverted need it has to persecute people just because they are “different”.
