In @dominicholden's story — part 2 of our series on #trans rights — he looks at the fight in state legislatures:https://www.buzzfeed.com/dominicholden/lgbt-leaders-divided-bathroom-fight?utm_term=.weLzGqOMXW#.vwv8dA4D3l …

... and finds a fight among
#LGBT groups on how to proceed:https://www.buzzfeed.com/dominicholden/lgbt-leaders-divided-bathroom-fight?utm_term=.weLzGqOMXW#.vwv8dA4D3l … -
READ the memos — fighting over whether public accommodations should be in legislation now — only at
@BuzzFeedNews:https://www.buzzfeed.com/dominicholden/lgbt-leaders-divided-bathroom-fight?utm_term=.weLzGqOMXW#.vwv8dA4D3l … -
Interesting to see
@LambdaLegal's new head, Rachel Tiven, give most aggressive pro-full-steam-ahead statements here:https://www.buzzfeed.com/dominicholden/lgbt-leaders-divided-bathroom-fight?utm_term=.wdEO6aoPjB#.ruDzEM6Y20 … -
Also appears that — much as some still want to vilify them for '07 —
@HRC is WHOLLY pro-full-steam-ahead here:https://www.buzzfeed.com/dominicholden/lgbt-leaders-divided-bathroom-fight?utm_term=.wdEO6aoPjB#.ruDzEM6Y20 … -
And, the
@ACLU was the one out front with the memo@dominicholden published today — yet they wouldn't comment!https://www.buzzfeed.com/dominicholden/lgbt-leaders-divided-bathroom-fight?utm_term=.wdEO6aoPjB#.ruDzEM6Y20 … -
On the other side,
@GillFoundation is clearly leading the charge for incrementalism here—and using its wallet.https://www.buzzfeed.com/dominicholden/lgbt-leaders-divided-bathroom-fight?utm_term=.wdEO6aoPjB#.ruDzEM6Y20 … -
Interestingly,
@TransEquality has split w HRC & sided w Gill in favor of dropping pub accom if nec to get a law.https://www.buzzfeed.com/dominicholden/lgbt-leaders-divided-bathroom-fight?utm_term=.wdEO6aoPjB#.ruDzEM6Y20 … -
Finally, the newest group —
@freedom4allusa — siding w Gill appears to be only focused on housing & employment. https://www.buzzfeed.com/dominicholden/lgbt-leaders-divided-bathroom-fight?utm_term=.bmoPj8dpGk#.gvZgJBlGKA … See:pic.twitter.com/DQooTftDfV

Anyway, a tremendous story from
@dominicholden that everyone interested in LGBT policy should be reading:https://www.buzzfeed.com/dominicholden/lgbt-leaders-divided-bathroom-fight?utm_term=.bmoPj8dpGk#.gvZgJBlGKA … -
That was the 2nd in our

t's about respecting the humanity and human rights of trans people, not where we poop and pee.
-
It's past time we stop using the 'bathroom bill' framing of transphobic right wing bigots and call them on it
-
They are transphobes trying to legislate discrimination against trans people, and that needs to be repeated
