Breitbart – by Charlie Spiering
The White House is reaching out to the transgender community for a list of things that its members want as they follow their lifestyle choices.
The initiative was launched with the help of White House Chief Data Scientist DJ Patil, who expressed concern that there is very little data of what the transgender community needs from the government.
“In the transgender space, there exists no data,” Patil told Fortune Magazine. “There’s none.”
Patil helped launched the initiative in order to quantify the desires from the transgender community so that the federal government could reach out with assistance.
“Jobs, healthcare, housing, a safe place to pee. It’s your time to be heard. Share your #transneeds,” reads a message on the Twitter account calling for everyone to weigh in.

Another message from the account reads:
Tell us what the federal government can do for you. We're collecting data and providing recommendations #transneeds https://t.co/snhkByX9fM

Patil praised the launch of the movement on Twitter earlier this morning:
Very excited to see the transgender community lead by creating the #transneeds initiative. Send in your transgender needs w/ that #.

The account also posted a photo of the LGTBQ activists on Twitter at the White House holding a sign promoting their hashtag.

According to the Twitter account, the #transneeds project is the result of the White House LGBTQ Tech Summit which was held in order to understand the needs of the transgender community.
“Amongst and in our community, the trans community faces some of the greatest challenges for inclusion and economic inclusion,” U.S. Chief Technology Officer Megan Smith said during the event which took place in August.
Ina Fried, a senior editor for Re/code, has been promoting the initiative on her Twitter account:
Glad to be a part of this effort. Share your #transneeds and be heard! https://t.co/hESir0AEY9

The campaign is still new, but here is the short list of needs currently shared under the hashtag:

#transneeds An HHS rule that explicitly covers GRS and other transgender-specific health care. Right now the rule has giant loopholes.

#transneeds More doctors to prescribe HRT; more surgeons capable of performing GRS.

Fc*king puke.
I’m not reading this because I’m not interested in our “government’s” opinion or decision on the matter. I’m here to issue a warning:
If I catch any of you transgender freaks in any bathroom I have to use you’re getting a swirlie (that’s when you hold someone’s head in the bowl water and flush).
And as far as a “safe place to pee” is concerned….let me tell you about the public restrooms in Manhattan in the 80’s : Every last one of them has since been locked up because you couldn’t find a safe place to pee that didn’t have at least two homosexuals nailing each other in the stalls. It’s the homo crowd that forced everyone else to pee in the street, because they turned all the public bathrooms into gay sex parlors.
The only public restrooms that remain open have full-time attendants in them to make sure the faggots don’t start screwing each other, or peeking into occupied stalls in search of perversion partners.
When do straight people get a safe place to pee? When can we have public restrooms again without the faggots turning them into dens of perversion?
Absolutely Jolly Roger!!!!!! 😡
Hey Paul, don’t you hate that when you walk into a restroom and there’s queers in there takin’ a coffee break. It make’s a guy just want to swat them right up side the **ckwasher! J.R., I hope the person who used the stool prior to the swirlie forgot to flush.
yeah Millard. SICK SONS A BITCHES!! When i was in the military, we had a way of dealing with them. 😉
It’s a far cry from that happening in today’s military. Too many laws in place protecting their right of perversion. Instead of “Don’t ask, don’t tell”, the new motto is, “It’s OK to be Gay.”
Will someone please tell me they don’t pay for Military Personnel’s GRS!
You guys have no idea…..I live on the edge of a little city called Wilton Manor, more fags per capita than any place in the world. I can’t actually describe it in words what I see daily. Before I lived here, I really had no problems with fags, NOW, you should see what they do, how they live, treat straight people. They need to…..well, I can’t say that……
They are the shallow end of the gene pool and are a genetic dead end, but, I have to give them more rights than I get.
Obama is a faggot too, not too many people know this or believe it. He’s a lifetime member of the oldest fag bath house in Chicago btw. And so is Rahm Emmanuel. Lotta gay lovers died when the commie faggot got elected.
BAAAARRFFF!!!!! Can Barry and company make our country sink any lower?
