Obviously you were not in Washington State when there were discussions extending protection to gays, lesbians and transgendered persons in employment, housing, and extending 'hate crime' protections.

Somehow I must be reading a different forum than others are reading. There seems to be no lack of non acceptance of the transgendered community as shown time and time again on this forum.
