We as a society cannot allow discimination to be allowed to continue. The HRC promised that anything short of a fully inclusive bill was unacceptable. The lobbied transpeople for finacial support and made promises to them and then reneged on the promise. The idea that the trans community should be happy to not be covered against discrimination in a bill that was to include all is rediculous. Make promises as a group to have strength that then throw part of the group under the bus to get your own agenda taken care of just reeks..... your ice cream analogy is a poor one.

If you are unwilling to accept a gain just because it is not completely everything that you want, the alternative is usually nothing. The winning strategy is usually to take what you can get now, then go back for the rest later. Spoiled brats who refuse ice cream because it doesn't have chocolate sprinkles, usually don't get either the ice cream or the chocolate sprinkles. Reasonable kids who accept the ice cream, and then ask for chocolate sprinkles, at least get the ice cream. “The perfect is the enemy of the good.”
