For more years than I care to think of, I was a member of the San Francisco Transgender Civil Rights Implementation Task Force for the City and County of San Francisco.
We worked on a number of projects, including getting single-person restrooms in the area designated for all genders, as well as forcing the insurance for San Francisco employees to cover health care related to being transgender.
In some ways, I look back at this, amazed at what we managed to get done, other times, frustrated with how little has been done since.
During this time, we heard of a deputy district attorney who wasn’t very good for trans people. Some of us eventually did meet them, as they went on to a position under the city attorney.
