   Comments: The Senate and House of representatives have both already passed bills including Gender Identity, a very needed inclusion. It makes no sense why this class of citizens would now be detrayed by being excluded. If for some bizzare reason an inclusive bill is impossible now, no bill would be better than to have the already marginalized community put into the position of fighting itself for limited scraps of protection. The public often fails to differentiate between sexual orientation and gender identity, so attempting to seperate them will only cause problems socially and legally.

   Comments: It is vitally important that all gender identies and sexual orientations be included in any and all legislation regarding discrimination. What would it be like if the heterosexual binary preferences of that mainstream group were all of a sudden put into a minority position and treated as poorly as those who don't fit into the apparent biological binary. This divide and piecemeal effort works as well as the civil rights and antiwar movements of the 60's for women. Wait your turn doesn't do it. Its All or All. nothing inbetween.

    Comments: I am a law abiding, tax paying citizen and your constituent. I have voted for you throughout your career since the early 90s. I have also been an activst in the struggle for lgbt rights since the white night riots in the late 70s. I voted for Harvey Milk. I happen to be a transsexual man. It is incomprehensible that you of all people could sell us out. I haven't been this disillusioned since the Clinton admin did similar backstabbing a decade ago. I saw you on the news tonight pleading for Bush to not veto money for kids. Some of those kids are transsexual. Oprah actually had a show on two of them today. Think about it Nancy, did you just mean *some* kids Is the logic that its not ok to Hate us, but it is to discriminate in employment There's something wrong with this picture. No one's free 'til we're all free. Period. You know better!

    Comments: Failure to pass a transgender inclusive Employemtn Nondiscrimination Act is nothing more than an assault on the American family. The transgender person in auestion could very well be your sister or brother or aunt or uncle. Your family member. Trans people are the mist discriminated against members of the American workforce. We simply MUST pass an inclusive Employment Nondiscrimination Act. Anything less is a crime.

I do live in a state that protects my job from discrimination based on my gender identity, but so many states don't have that. Please make it a federal law and help end discrimination.

    Comments: I am an attorney who practices on both Long Island and New York City, New York, and is well versed in civil rights claims as that is a substantial part of my practice. Frankly, I am somewhat taken aback that out Congress is not prepared to extend basic discrimination protection to transgendered individuals that other individuals have the benefit of. Frankly, this is not fair to those individuals as being transgendered is a product of their biology over which they have no control. Moreover, many transgendered individuals are important, productive members of our society who deserve the basic protections that we all share. Therefore, I implore you to include transgender protestions in ENDA. Thank you.

Does not our constitution say " for all" Please continue doing the right thing. It is the legacy we leave our children. Tiffany, Bridgette, and Alicia Marie

    Comments: the politically expedient thing to do ... is rarely the right thing to do. many wonderful people will be left out in the cold, in the name of an 'easier' passage. the argument seems to be that transgender people need to 'pay their dues' like the gays and lesbians have. .... what does that even mean

    Comments: I was having dinner with my transgender friend as this news came to me, that the co-sponsors want to split the bill between sexual orientation and gender identity. The news split our table in half. Do not divide our community, please. I am a committed activist working every day to make it okay to be - not just okay to be gay, lesbian, or bisexual. We stand together or fall together. If the bill does not pass as a unified piece of legislation, then the fault and the discrimination are on the shoulders of those who do not vote for job protection. Give those who would discriminate a chance to show their true colors. Do not protect them from their own bigotry. Let the world see it. I will be proud to see the bill not pass and remain in solidarity with my transgender friends.
