If you agree that trans people deserve the same rights as everybody else, and want to show it in these increasingly dark days, you'll vote Yes on Question 3. And if you have time, you might even attend the Rally for Transgender Rights, 1 p.m. on Sunday at the 54th Massachusetts memorial at Boston Common, across from the State House.

Both Mayor Walsh and School Superintendent Tommy Change reaffirmed their commitment to protecting transgender students, the day after the Trump administration told schools they no longer had to do so - and never mind he once promised to protect them.
In a statement, Mayor Walsh said: Read more.

Transgender people face the most basic and blatant discrimination every day - from being denied access to employment, housing, or healthcare, to being physically attacked because of the way they look or dress. Through the Transgender Rights Project, GLAD puts our litigation, legislative, and educational assets to work in a focused way to establish clear legal protections for the transgender community. Join us to learn more!

Chris Mason reports on Thursday night's Boston Transgender Day of Remembrance in Allston, which included a candlelit remembrance outside the former Union Square apartment of Rita Hester, murdered 10 years ago this month:
... Just a few feet from Rita's old home, where we had just placed a candle, a young man opened the window of his 3rd floor apartment. Curious about all the people walking by with candles, he called out, "what is this about?"
Someone answered him, "transgendered victims."
He paused and then said, "fuck that!" and closed the window. One of the participants respond, "fuck you."
A few seconds later he opened the window again, stuck his head out, and yelled, "You mother fucking transsexuals, get the fuck out of my neighborhood!" ...
Jim posted video from the vigil.
