Hairy Shemale Picture

The transgender community is not a footnote in LGBTQ culture. It is the living proof that who we are is more important than what we were assigned to be. And that is a truth worth marching for.

Yet, for much of the 1970s and 80s, the mainstream gay rights movement attempted to distance itself from trans issues. The strategy at the time was "respectability politics"—the idea that if LGBTQ people presented as "normal" (i.e., non-trans, gender-conforming, and middle-class), they would win acceptance. This led to the explicit exclusion of transgender people from the early versions of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA).
