My dearest sisters and friends on URNA,

Please take a moment to consider signing your Transgender Human Rights petition.  We are petitioning the United Nations to recognize transgender people as human beings equal to men and women.  As it stands, transgender people are excluded from the U.N.'s definition of human. 

The U.N. has 191 member countries, most of whom are guilty of not protecting our transgender sisters' human rights.  By petitioning a centralized world body like the U.N., the goal is to bring attention to the descrimination faced by transwomen.  This is just one approach of many that will be needed over the coming years, as transgender people gain equal rights and protections as the rest of society.  

Due to the need for anonymity to guard your safety, you may choose to sign this petition with either your official given name, or with your chosen transgender name.  Signing is better than silence, because silence implies acceptance.  Darlings, you must not accept being considered less than human!  Stand up and be counted, even if only on a virtual level for now.  Anything is better than silence!
