How Hillary Clinton Moved Trans Rights Forward

[Her Sister]

3. would a Republican SoS had done this?

This little detail that facilitated in domino fashion the betterment of position for transgenders!!

Me thinks not!

Clinton herself hasn’t claimed a tremendous amount of responsibility for advancing transgender rights in the United States, nor should she. The progress of recent years can be attributed to a long history of transgender activism and to key players in the Obama administration, of which the former secretary of state is just one.

But with transgender rights on the line across the country, Clinton’s role shouldn’t be forgotten, either. Six years ago, her State Department added momentum to a movement that has protected transgender people’s jobs and helped them travel abroad. As her childhood friend wrote, that should indeed be something to be proud of.
