Transgenders Are Not Blacks

Whenever some group wants to legitimize their cause, they think it apropos to liken their inconvenience to what Blacks went through during the aftermath of slavery and segregation. They use the phrase "civil rights", which is code for Black people. One minor point: there is no comparison, thus any attempt at such is a disgrace and insult to every Black person in America, and his or her intelligence.

National civil rights organizations are celebrating the passage by the House of legislation that would add "sexual orientation" to a list of federally protected classes, but some San Francisco groups refuse to take part in the party.

The vote Wednesday on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, also known as ENDA, postponed several times, was ultimately revised to remove protection for transgender workers, which upset gay rights groups here and across the country. Democratic leaders said the removal was necessary to get the act passed. But more than 300 lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender leaders opposed the exclusion, saying it is unfair and sends the wrong message.

I don’t want to sound insensitive, but why do we always have to be sensitive towards the feelings of others? In the case of the transgendered, can they not understand that what may be a change or choice for them, may result in the disruption of any workplace. People are people. People try not to stare, but to be honest, very few of us would not view this as normal. Since the "change" requires radical surgery, it is not.
