I think you are so correct, Cheryl.

The latest attacks levied against members of the greater LBGTQ community is very concerning and deeply worrisome.

I wondered what Dapper, Jesse or TheOddz or Anya (or other members of our community) might post concerning this issue and I came up with an excellent resource for press coverage on Trans Issues for members of our online community.

1) The Advocate


and...

2) Here is an recent press release by The Advocate, covering what Trans members are doing locally and at national levels of press coverage.

I am so proud of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association*; they're speaking up loud and clear against recent proposed changes to legislation involving trans and intersex folk in the USA, and calling for other sports bodies to speak up too:
