30 Days of Pride, Day 21: Politics, Politics, Politics

Political LGBT issue that is closest to you or affects you most.

This has changed over the years.
Originally, it was nondiscrimination and marriage, mostly for my kids. Making sure they were protected from harassment at school and making sure they could have a future.

Now, it's workplace protection and nondiscrimination. Not just for my kids, but for myself and my household as well. Transfolk don't often just blend in. We hit the Uncanny Valley. We set up subconscious alarms that we are "not right" in appearance. And finding work can be very difficult, especially for the ladies of the household.
