"Even the United States organization the HRC (human rights campaign) which is for the rights of cisgender GLB people does not care about the rights of Trans people or Hermaphrodites which are less than 1% of the human population."

The above quote is from our illustrious representative for Gays that he states that he represents. However, the following is listed on http://www.hrc.org

The HRC states:
"What We Do
As the largest civil rights organization working to achieve equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans, the Human Rights Campaign represents a grassroots force of over 750,000 members and supporters nationwide — all committed to making HRC’s vision a reality.
Founded in 1980, the Human Rights Campaign advocates on behalf of LGBT Americans, mobilizes grassroots actions in diverse communities, invests strategically to elect fair-minded individuals to office and educates the public about LGBT issues.
Mission Statement
HRC envisions an America where lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people are ensured equality and embraced as full members of the American family at home, at work and in every community.
Focus on Diversity
In a world defined by difference, our strength depends on our common humanity. HRC unites diverse communities into a powerful whole striving for equality. Learn about HRC’s diversity initiatives.

under the issue drop down:
Transgender people face unique challenges — such as widespread discrimination and hate violence, the complex process of getting appropriate identity documents, finding culturally competent healthcare providers, and family and parenting issues — that make them some of the most vulnerable members of American society. These issues affect thousands of people and their families, representing all ages, classes and ethnic groups, who together are an integral part of America.

The Human Rights Campaign works with
federal, state and local governments,
employers, schools, hospitals and churches,
and the American public to educate on the issues that transgender people face and to advocate for full inclusion and full equality in American life.*
