I’m a bit conflicted right now. I’m excited that someone took the opportunity to scroll through my blog and read about my post on my experience working for The Human Rights Campaign.
However, I am disappointed in myself for not doing the proper research into organization before I accepted the job.
Here is the posting from the anonymous reader:

The Human Rights Campaign barely cares about Human Rights. They constantly endorse republicans, anti-choice, anti-immigrant, and pro-war candidates. Their endorsements and shameful actions that have excluded the trans community continue to divide progressives.
When accepting the job, I was out canvassing to support a bill that would make it illegal to terminate someone from their place of employment for being Gay or Lesbian from all 50 states. What I was unaware of was this bill, as well as the organization as a whole, excluded transsexuals.
So I would like to post this apology to the anonymous reader for not following through with the proper research or the organization. I thought The Human Rights Campaign included All HUMANS, regardless of sexual orientation and/or identity.
Since I’m being up front about my ignorance, I also would like to apologize to the few transsexuals I have met in the past few weeks. To be more specific the female to male (or FTM’s). When it is disclosed to me about your transition, I notice I do have a tendency to size you up and down. Please be aware that is not because I am freaked out or think less of you.
It’s just Transexualism is still a new concept to me and whoever you went to perform the surgery had done a fan-fuckin-tasic job!
That I had no clue you were born the opposite sex.
So please accept my humble apologies?!
