Re ENDA:
A recent comment on my blog, on a post asking for support for ENDA.

What a silly, dishonest post, naturally bereft of any specifics or supporting facts. I highly doubt that you know a single person who starved or froze to death b/c ENDA wasn't passed. For that to be true, literally ever single employer in your "friends'" area would have had to reject them and specifically b/c of gender identity, they would have had to be unable to relocate to a jurisdiction where there are gender identity protections, and for some reason, they would have to have been unable to access food stamps, public housing and welfare, not to mention private charities which provide clothing and shelter.
This post shows very nicely how trans activists feel free to tell any outrageous lie in order to get their way. Just one more good reason among many others not to expend political capital to include gender identity in ENDA.

Some gays are so transphobic, they'd prefer to see no ENDA at all rather than one that includes "Icky trannies".

The various reports on trans unemployment, the deaths such as Jennifer Gayles' make no impression on them. They don't believe that such things can happen, because they don't happen to them.
