So patronizing, calling TQ "rights" anything other than 'privileges' while lumping them in with LGB.

That is what gets me. What is being called discrimination and denial of service with regards to the T population seems to mostly be about failure to validate them by reflecting their self-selected identity back to them.

I do not think it is a coincidence that the three trans- employment discrimination cases highlighted on HRC's website are from decades ago-- 1968, 1999, and 2004. You'd think that if the problem of discrimination was as bad as they are portraying, they would have some more recent cases to highlight.
