Transrights are Human Rights!

by Gregg Chadwick On this day in 1948, President Truman ended segregation in the United States Armed Forces. Today in a hate filled series of tweets Trump brought it back. Trump's argument against transgender soldiers echoes one used against gays, women and blacks.  Even as I am calling my Senators and engaging in active measures to help preserve our healthcare, I am standing up against Trump's bigotry. Currently, thousands of transgender folks serve proudly among the 1.3 million active-duty members of the United States military. Brave souls who volunteered to put their lives on the line. Today, their commander in chief kicks them to the curb. The scale of this insult should not be underestimated. An unconscionable act by Trump. As the Women's March organization puts it: "The care of trans people is not a "distraction"—it is a human right."  #TransRightsAreHumanRights   Sorry, Donald, tweets do not a policy make. @Mic pic.twitter.com/0vprabrvKn ...
