Excerpt from USA Today:
For Bamby Salcedo, president and CEO of The TransLatin@ Coalition, the governmental proposals are disturbing even if they're not surprising for a community "that has been under attack for more than 500 years."
"Personally, it enrages me that there are people like the governor of Texas, and there are many others, who continue to push for the criminalization of our existence," she said.
"The political climate that results in such policies is a gut punch to morale, but sadness can't erode the resolve of those fighting for trans rights."
-Bamby Salcedo
"Those of us who are at the front lines, we're going to stand up to this and we're going to fight and we're going to push to ensure that these types of situations are not going to happen," she said.
