ACLU and Trans

[christinemax.livejournal.com]

I have an ACLU contact regionally and she has been helping me with some things as I work on a project and she sent me a bunch of pamphlets. They are the ACLU's Trangender People and the Law Pamphlet. These are very informative and you can find them at www.aclu.org/lgbt I was also looking around their site and they had some some other stuff that made me think that the ACLU has a better position on Transgender issues than HRC does. I'm not sure if this is true or not, does anyone know anything about this? But I think I read something about linking transgender issues to gay issues, although I can't find it now.

No Trans at the Gay Bar

[aftermarketgirl.livejournal.com]

The Wrangler is a gaybar in Denver, my hometown. It's kind of a bear bar.

A couple transphobic links:
Gender matching I.D. required.
No Beer for Transpeople

Ok.. so they're trying to keep that bear vibe going there or something, by excluding DQs/TVs/TG/TS? I guess that's the idea. But I'd sure be pissed if, like, some straight bar excluded me based on my gender expression. This isn't like a swanky nightclub kicking someone out cuz they're in tennies, it's excluding someone because of their identity. I'm pretty sure they're breaking city ordinance.
