    When sending the message from the above link, please be sure to edit the provided text to include gender identity expression. HRC is principally concerned with gay rights issues, and gender identity expression was conspicuously omitted from the provided text.

    Have you visited the above link yet? If not, please do. This is the single most important issue currently confronting the American transgender community. Don't miss this opportunity to be a part of a positive change.

    If you read further, in the sentence where it describes the legislation, it only makes mention of sexual orientation, not gender identity. I just sort of felt we needed to place further emphasis on the gender identity thing.

    Thanks for acting on this, though, Wendy. Let's hope all our American members speak up.

    Dear Robyn,
    I'm with you on this one. I sent the e-mail, although I amended it to express my opposition to hate crimes legislation.
    Regards,
    Bennie Lee

    Robyn,

    The version I signed contained the following text:

    "and in 39 states, it's legal to fire someone for being transgender."
