Change.org petition started by the National Center for Transgender Equality
NCTE Pledge to End Transgender Discrimination
Transgendered people are subject to discrimination that puts them at risk of homelessness. When transgender people are discriminated against, the consequences are that they cannot find work or shelter. Sign the petition and help stop discrimination against these brave trannys (ourselves, our friends, and our family).
The Adopt-A-Gay Foundation was pseudo-founded in 2002 when Sarah Black first adopted half of the Hampton Roads area LGBTs. 2010 marked the auspicious occasion of the unofficial foundation getting it's first web page.

I Dont Get Why We Aren't Helping Unemployed and Homeless Transgendered Veterans
Ok, this may take a minute, but let me walk ya thru it: I am an unemployed homeless transexual veteran. How is that for a minority? I have been everywhere looking for a job. I did not get a job, but I have gotten some looks. I guess they don't believe it when they figure it out. Oh well.
I have also tried to go to the VA's homeless veterans counselor and he has told me, "Sorry there is nothing we can do". I have been to the shelters and they wont take me in because "where would they put me in with the males or females?"
I love this country, I really do. I spent 4 years and 3 tours in the Persian Gulf fighting for this country. All I have to say is WTF America? I may be different but I have payed my dues. No criminal record, nothing on my DMV record and all I get is a hard time. Why should I stay in this country if there are others willing to help me? I cant even get into college because no one will take the time to help me. I am not dumb by any stretch and I am willing and able to work. Well, maybe, I will just turn into another tranny prostitute, I mean that's what these people want right? That way every night when they are driving to go out to dinner they have something to look out the window and sneer at and then laugh--and they call us sick? People, I promise you this...I am not leaving this country...ohhh no! I am staying and I'm gonna force them to hear me and see me everyday for the rest of thier lives...thats right ya pissed me off and I am not going away. Instead, I am staying and fighting for our equal rights. I am bullheaded and got plenty of fight in me. If you are reading this and want to help...speak up and let America hear you. Thats our problem ...we have no voice...well guess what? I never shut up and I am about to show this country, congress, and all the haters. Fuk'em all!
