Photo Friday: Images of Gender Equity, Washington, DC USA (and beyond)

This week’s photograph and related photos are from Washington, DC (of course) and beyond, regarding issues of gender equity that have come into view recently.

I have found that in working to be an ally for transgender people (and all LGBTQ communities) I receive the discrimination/anger directed at the people that I’m working to be an ally for. Ultimately, these are gifts. I wish these experiences on every doctor and nurse in their careers.

Questions I ask:

• Beyond preaching what am I doing?
• Beyond doing what am I tolerating?
