This blog is an outlet of the National Center for Trangender Equality (http://www.nctequality.org/index.html). NCTE is a non-profit, social justice organization that aims promote equality of transgender (and all) people through advocacy, collaboration with other groups and empowerment. This blog primarily focuses on educating its readers about current and relevant policies to transgender issues, and every so often provides examples of ways to get involved and take action—whether it’s providing you with the phone number of Congress members before a large vote is cast, or if it’s just giving you a link to follow and sign a petition. The most recent topic of discussion on the blog is the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which is currently in its fifteenth year of being introduced to Congress.
T-Equality is a blog that is very relevant to this class’ material—especially when we’re focusing on serious forms of gender discrimination that we see today. Transgender issues have not been remotely prevalent within recent legislation Congress is dealing with, thus blogs like this exist to keep us informed as well as accountable as citizens to do something about it.
