this is trans woman, specifically trans women of color.o break that down. >> who are most vulnerable. >> most vulnerable to police brutality and violence and who are engaged in sex work because this society does not equate our womanhood to any kind of humanhood in any kind of sentence. so i get a little heated when i have these discussions because i feel like we need to start spelling out who is at risk. we need to redefine what equality is. if we're defining equality as something that is scarce and limited and is for a very select few in our community and some of us need to wait a little bit, that is not equality. that's upholding, very systematic systems of oppression. >> so let's get this done first. >> yes. trans women of color are not included in many media images. we're talked about as if we're victims and that is all we are. when i know many trans women out there will doing amazing work who get a fraction of the limelight that i get and i don't even get that much limelight. i am gagging right now that i am on nerdland seriously. so

and this's a reason why trans-canada wants to build the keystone pipeline pipeline, because it's the way to get the oil out. there is another option which is possibly to build some kind of pipeline to move the oil to the west, but there's a huge obstacle to that, which is that you have the first nations people of canada which are very activated and empowered who have basically said we are not going to let this happen. so it's far from a forgone conclusion. and the idea that a president who says look i want to take action on climate change on behalf of future generations should base his decision on whether the canadians might otherwise try to get this tar sands out or not, that's not what a leader does. a leader makes hard choices based on what he thinks is right for the nation. and that's really not what the president or secretary of state kerry should be using to assess this decision. >> michael: they are hearing from big trade groups like the u.s. chamber of commerce and the american petroleum institute, claiming the pipeline will create 25 to 30,000 jobs. >> trans-canada loves to
