Please consider signing this petition for transgender rights

Many more signatures are needed!

https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/allow-all-people-identifying-transgender-change-their-legal-gender/yhJDRqvQ

we petition the obama administration to:

Allow all people identifying as transgender to change their legal gender

Transgender people-people who don't identify as their birth sex-exist in the US and across the world, and in some states-Ohio, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Tennessee, and Idaho- it's currently impossible for them to complete their transition and change their legal sex.

Please allow everyone, regardless of birth sex and location, the right to change their legal sex.

But I don't think many people actually use this space very much. Most everything just gets posted to LGBT.
