Rally highlights trans visibility

Ms. Billie Cooper, right, founder of TransLife, a program of the San Francisco AIDS Foundation, spoke at a transgender visibility rally Saturday, November 3, at Frank Ogawa Plaza in downtown Oakland. The rally was in response to news last month that the Trump administration is preparing a proposal to limit the identification of a person's gender to include only "male" or "female" that is listed at birth. Speakers told the crowd that trans people and their allies "will not be erased."
