Comments

I just sent an email to the contact for the story.

I told her that Massachusetts is not the only state that is suffering because of this. Every state in the union is because they refuse to hire gay and transgendered people. We are not lazy, and if hired we will be productive workers. Me myself, I can't work at a regular job because my doctors tell me my heart is too weak. That is why I write. The story and the study though, will fall on deaf ears as has every other story and study like this. Not too long ago scientists said they discovered that the brain of a transgendered M2F has the same size brain as a GG. Well, even with that study, there is still bias and discrimination. It is high time that all the gays, lesbians, bi-sexuals, cross dressers and transgendered got out and showed the mainstream that they have nothing to fear from us. It is high time the mainstream learned that we only want to live our lives in peace.
