Within the broad LGBT Movement, there have been problematic disconnects with the Transgender Community. These were particularly noticeable in the 2009 Employment Non-Discrimination Act’s political and social organizing efforts. Allies and members within the LGB community struggled with whether the Transgender population could be included in this first wave of those being given access to employment protection under the law. This disconnect is compounded by the challenges members of the transgender community face within communities of faith – even those who profess to be progressive and inclusive. To have the strongest communities of faith and social justice movement, we must have one that not only affirms but actively includes those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual and yes, transgender. One of the ways to fill this gap is to empower members of the transgender community to engage with broader segments of the LGB movement and beyond.
