This has been a good week for the transgendered in politics. Diego Sanchez was the first transgender man named to a committee at the Democratic National Congress. He was appointed by Howard Dean, and will help promote anti-discrimination laws to protect gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people. You can find some more information about his appointment here and more information from the Boston Herald here. I think it's a wonderful thing for the Democratic Party to recognize the valuable contributions of all it's members.
I also think it's particularly important those in the transgender community to rally around our brothers. Often times you hear about male to female transsexuals, and less so do you hear about the struggles that our brothers need to go through to bring their lives into balance with who they are. Congratulations to Diego! I'm looking forward to a fantastic election year, where civil liberties are advanced, and the human dignity of all is recognized.
Hugs
