Today the City of Portland won trans-inclusive health care protections for all city employees!
My friend Tash was a big leader of the fight, working with Basic Rights Oregon's Trans Justice Working Group.
In my opinion it's about time. I can't even believe that trans people are actually denied health care coverage simply because they are trans. That blows my mind. Apparently Portland is the third municipality in the country to win this basic right. Yay for Portland; I love my hometown :)
