The world is waking up! About fu%&ing time!

This link is about a law just passed in California which will make prisons a lot safer for Lesbian/Gay/ Bisexual and Transgendered people.

This is great news. Now, why has it taken so long for any such action?

Maybe because there have been too many LGBT people beaten up ar even killed. Maybe it is because legislation takes a long time. Maybe the lobby groups have been agitating for this for a long time. I didn't do anything to help this come about so I don't have anything to complain about.

Thank you to all the hard working people out there who took the pain, effort , time , money and risk to get this done. I've been too frightened of letting people know I'm transgendered let alone push for legal rights.

The least I can do is start to talk to people whenever the subject comes up and educate them about being transgendered.

I've made start. I recently told my kids . Tricky, but I felt it was the right time to do it.
Now a number of people who know me well, know about me being a tranny. So now I don't have to be paranoid about other people finding out. Maybe my life will be all the better for it.

OK. I could get beaten up if I'm not careful. But then I'd make sure the heavy arm of the law would come crushing down on them like a ton of bricks. They could end up in prison. Where they just might wish they were transgendered and a similar law was in place so that they could get away from physical and verbal attacks (or worse).

Then they too would appreciate that the law is changing and the world is waking up.
