The real Focus on the Families silent Transgender

Enda has shamed and discredited American politics and the Human Rights Campaign.

The transgender advocates who speak in this video for equal rights for all Americans are the VOICES BEING HEARD. I applaud Kalil Cohen and his vision.




HRC's Marty Rouse states that in order for ENDA to be seriously heard in congress it has to be striped of gender inclusive language.

That was, is and will always be a lie.

ENDA in any form submitted to the Senate was doomed to fail. HRC knew that, Barney Frank knew that and contrary to HRC's claim, the 350+ groups who represent nearly every GLBT person in the United States who signed UNITEDENDA's letter of protest to the exclusion of gender language KNEW THAT.
When HRC failed to live up to a acceptable standard of conduct people suffered and died as a result. YES DIED.. HRC and Barney Frank both continue to lie and marginalize gender diverse people.

There is no remorse being displayed by either Frank or HRC, to the contrary Frank has continually uttered statements directed at the gender diverse that are intently inflammatory and hurtful. I suggest to my LGBT family that we take no excuse. I demand from HRC a accounting for this travesty. Call your local steering committee member and demand justice for you, your same sex partner and your children.
Inaction by you may result in your own family members pain

Kim Pearson executive director of TransYouth Family Allies is visiting and speaking in the Austin TX community during the month of May at various locations sponsored by TACT(Transgender Advocates of Central Texas) Equality Texas, and PFLAG. During her talk at the monthly membership meeting of TACT at Genuine Joe in Austin Kim Pearson related how this group founded in the fall of 2006 could have enjoyed such phenomenal growth and success.
According to Kim " Amazing things can happen when you put 4 mothers in a room". Transyouth gained national acclaim documented in this interview on CNN.



According to Kim Pearson the children with whom she becomes involved with who have gender expression issues have come to a point in their lives when the reality of the situation dictates a response. Kim Pearson states " the child does not transition, we do".

. TYFA's mission is to empower children and families by partnering with educators, service providers and communities, to develop supportive environments in which gender may be expressed and respected. They envision a society free of suicide and violence in which all children are respected and celebrate.
