. -- transgendered law center. thank you for convening this hearing. we regularly hear from transgendered here -- seniors who face serious discrimination and exclusion from essential services. elders and people with disabilities in hospitals and long-term care facilities are sometimes forced to transition back to the gender assigned at birth because of staff or family members who are not fully informed of or not supportive of that person's gender identity or expression. some of the most damaging discrimination faced by elders is at the hands of medical providers. because of their despair -- experiences with discrimination, many elders avoid seeking treatment altogether which can pose serious risks to their health. it is essential that providers treating trans elders receive training. the city of san francisco should mandate competency training for elders and provide meaningful outreach efforts. it is imperative the city committed to finding solutions to the crises that the elders are facing. thanks for bringing much- needed attention to this underserve

transgender have been serving for 235 years now, and simply because we did know the definition of transgendereddoes not mean that we have any excuse so the idea of queer and comes in more than just transgender, i would say that we would never say queer in the military because if queer means everything from same-sex marriage and relationships to people who dye their hair green, military does not believe that people should just dye their hair green or fit into the idea of that. queer construct as it is. however, i think that the word queer been inclusive and making a place for all people is exactly what the military fights for, and what we do as americans not just for certain kinds of people who have gender privilege, who have the privilege of getting into their certain gender binary roles, i believe that we have a long way to go to realize what it is that we're actually fighting for, and i believe anybody who wears this reform fight for two things, freedom and justice. and i don't see anybody who wears this uniform fit to say that they don't fight for those things. if they don't buy for those th
