Tomorrow: Planned Parenthood NYC Rally in support of Transgender Rights

The proposal from the Department of Health and Human Services would define gender as a biological, immutable condition determined by genitalia at birth, and would be the most drastic move yet in a large-scale government push to reverse recognition and rights of transgender individuals under civil rights law.

WHAT: New York City Stands with Transgender Communities Rally

WHEN: Wednesday, October 24th, 11 a.m.

WHERE: City Hall steps

We can all do our part to fight back. Vote on November 6, support organizations for transgender and gender nonconforming people, and be an upstander, not a bystander, when you see a trans or gender nonconforming person being harassed or attacked. And join us to speak out against this hateful proposal tomorrow.

Hope to see you tomorrow!

I don't want transgender to be unfairly treated but it should not be a focus right now. How about March for your freaking country your future.
