Mara Keisling
Executive Director, National Center for Trans Equality
Before Laverne Cox and Caitlyn Jenner, there was Mara Keisling, a leading voice for trans equality since NCTE was founded in 2003. After the 2015 repeal of Houston’s equal rights ordinance — a sharp setback for transgender protection — many anticipate a tsunami of new anti-trans measures in 2016. Keisling said NCTE plans to fight back “in state legislatures, school boards and the media, creating messaging and standing up for all trans people.” No doubt about it, Keisling’s voice will be key in this critical year for trans rights.
