Violence Against Women Act--Passed in GOP-Controlled House--Covers Transgenders

Violence Against Women Act--Passed in GOP-Controlled House--Covers Transgenders | CNS News
 "The new law does not provide a definition for transgender or bisexual. 
However, the American Psychological Association defines transgender as “an umbrella term for persons whose gender identity, gender expression, or behavior does not conform to that typically associated with the sex to which they were assigned at birth.
Gender identity refers to a person’s internal sense of being male, female, or something else; gender expression refers to the way a person communicates gender identity to others through behavior, clothing, hairstyles, voice, or body characteristics.”
