I will begin a continuing education class on February 7th and it makes me feel a bit safer knowing that they are finally protecting gender identity and expression. Keep up the great work.

]]> Comment on Transman Bashed at HCC Campus During Pride Week by Ehipassiko » HCC, It’s Time to Change http://www.tghelp.org/2010/06/23/transman-bashed-at-hcc-campus/#comment-282 Ehipassiko » HCC, It’s Time to Change Thu, 01 Dec 2011 03:29:12 +0000 http://www.tgctr.org/?p=733#comment-282 [...] As I noted before, while the school might claim that  “sexual orientation” automatically covers “gender identity,” the idea that one’s intrinsic sexual desires equates to one’s intrinsic experience of one’s sex is fallacious.

Also, I want to call your attention to the fact that this exclusionary policy was adopted during the same time that a transgender man had been bashed on their campus.
