In yet another example of the wilful and malicious erasure of trans people within the LGb(t) movement, Harvard University has announced that due to the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", it now considers the United States military to be in full compliance with university non-discrimination policy. Harvard has explicitly decided to ignore the fact that its non-discrimination policy includes not only sexual orientation but also gender identity, and will resume full participation in the military's Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) program even though the program continues to discriminate against trans people. Apparently, the university feels that its gay and lesbian students deserve to be more equal than its trans students.

To their credit, several Harvard students have spoken out against this though the university newspaper, the Harvard Crimson. However, the public responses to their article are pretty disheartening -- time and again, people who claim to be pro-LGBT take the exact same arguments they themselves had previously condemned as anti-gay bigotry, and claim that those arguments are suddenly valid when applied to trans people instead.

And, of course, it becomes extra sickening when you realize that this is not an accident; it's exactly what Gay Incorporated wants and has been strategizing towards for decades.
