Appears? How so? "I was invited (and accepted) an invitation to another fund raiser. One the HRC ladies came to Girls Night Out social. And I’ve been invited to serve on the local steering committee. Involvement works!" The problem isn't with the local HRC orgs. The money you raise doesn't stay in your local area. DO you know how much of the money that leaves via your local HRC comes back? “HRC here in Orlando appears very supportive of trans folks.”

Appears? How so?

Until I showed up at a meeting last month, trans participation was nil. However, at least six ladies and gentlemen went out of their way to introduce themselves and say how happy they were to see trans folks here! I was invited (and accepted) an invitation to another fund raiser. One the HRC ladies came to Girls Night Out social. And I've been invited to serve on the local steering committee. Involvement works! Please keep this thread going regarding ENDA and other legislation pertaining to trans issues. Thanks! HRC here in Orlando appears very supportive of trans folks.

The trans involvement with the local HRC is minimal. I and one other TS do things regularly with HRC. A few other TSs show up sporadically mostly in high visibility things like the annual dinner. If TSs wish more support from HRC I suggest we get more involved with HRC. When people get to know us they tend to be more supportive. Nerissa Belcher I’m TS and living in the Atlanta, GA area.
