Transgender deprived of right to vote?

[labguy22]

Hello All,
I caught the tail end of a newscast which were discussing some bill being passed that would prohibit Transgender persons from the right to vote. Nancy Pelosi was mentioned and I heard nothing else about it? Does anyone have any knowledge of this bill? I have found similar state bills in Texas which make it difficult for Transgender persons, along with poor and elderly persons requiring I.D. and papers before someone could cast a vote.

Apparently what is going on are two bills which protect us from job discrimination. One bill includes GLBT, the second bill excludes Transgender from the protection. Still sounds like a messed up deal to me. I disagree with there reasoning that the bill wouldn't pass if it included Transgender persons.
