Lynch could have simply announced that the U.S. Department of Justice had filed a lawsuit against her home state of North Carolina declaring the state&rsquo;s HB2 law &ldquo;impermissibly discriminatory.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>But she used her national platform to not only place the transgender rights movement in the context of &nbsp;civil rights struggles of the past, but also to speak directly to transgender Americans.<\/p>\n<p>Here are four reasons her historic speech is a milestone for transgender Americans:<\/p>\n<p>1. She unequivocally assured transgender people that they deserve the respect and dignity afforded all Americans, as well as full protections of the law.<\/p>\n<p><em>&ldquo;This action is about a great deal more than just bathrooms. This is about the dignity and respect we accord our fellow citizens and the laws that we, as a people and as a country, have enacted to protect them &ndash; indeed, to protect all of us. &nbsp;And it&rsquo;s about the founding ideals that have led this country &ndash; haltingly but inexorably &ndash; in the direction of fairness, inclusion and equality for all Americans.&rdquo;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>2. She put &nbsp;the anti-transgender HB2 in context drawing on other lamentable chapters in our nation&rsquo;s history, when the inexorable march toward full equality prompted other harsh and discriminatory responses.<\/p>\n<p><em>&ldquo;This is not the first time that we have seen discriminatory responses to historic moments of progress for our nation. &nbsp;We saw it in the Jim Crow laws that followed the Emancipation Proclamation. &nbsp;We saw it in fierce and widespread resistance to Brown v. Board of Education.&rdquo;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>3. She exposed North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory&rsquo;s lies about the transgender community and HB2.<\/p>\n<p><em>&ldquo;You&rsquo;ve been told that this law protects vulnerable populations from harm &ndash; but that just is not the case. &nbsp;Instead, what this law does is inflict further indignity on a population that has already suffered far more than its fair share. &nbsp;This law provides no benefit to society &ndash; all it does is harm innocent Americans. &ldquo;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>4. &nbsp;She referenced shameful moments of state-sanctioned discrimination in North Carolina&rsquo;s recent past, and the pain &#8211; and regret &#8211; it inflicted.<\/p>\n<p><em>&ldquo;Instead of turning away from our neighbors, our friends, our colleagues, let us instead learn from our history and avoid repeating the mistakes of our past. &nbsp;Let us reflect on the obvious but often neglected lesson that state-sanctioned discrimination never looks good in hindsight. &nbsp;It was not so very long ago that states, including North Carolina, had signs above restrooms, water fountains and on public accommodations keeping people out based upon a distinction without a difference. &nbsp;We have moved beyond those dark days, but not without pain and suffering and an ongoing fight to keep moving forward. &nbsp;Let us write a different story this time.&rdquo;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/act.hrc.org\/ea-action\/action?ea.client.id=1954&amp;ea.campaign.id=50867&amp;_ga=1.15818549.2095133434.1457978354\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Send a message thanking Attorney General Lynch for her unwavering support for equality in the Tar Heel State.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hrc.org\/blog\/four-reasons-attorney-general-loretta-lynchs-speech-is-a-milestone-for-tran?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss-feed\" class=\"autohyperlink\">www.hrc.org\/blog\/four-reasons-attorney-general-loretta-lynchs-speech-is-a-milestone-for-tran?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss-feed<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Four Reasons Attorney General Loretta Lynch\u2019s Speech is a Milestone for Transgender Equality U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch&rsquo;s powerful and impassioned remarks Monday about the rights of transgender Americans stand as a seminal moment in the long struggle for full LGBT equality.
