I recent read an article on another website that focuses on LGBT issues that was unhappy with President Obama over not signing an executive order for ENDA. And I agree that it was something that, as a trans woman, is very important to me as it is simple for an employer to fire me as because of it. Now I am fortunate in that my employer, a public school district in Phoenix, is progressive on LGBT issues and already has policies in place protecting my rights. But not everyone is so lucky. It is an important issue and important to me as a trans woman. If it were the only issue of importance to me, I'd have a hard time supporting this president and his party.
