Trans rights are human rights that allow a person to use self-identification to be accepted as any gender identity of their choosing, where gender identity refers to man, woman, genderqueer, neutrois, or any other exogender.
At large, this means that any person of any biological gender has the right to identify as any gender identity that is legally recognized, which is typically male or female, as There Are Only Two Genders recognized in the legal system.

Person 2: Stop gatekeeping womanhood, you transphobic bigoted TERF!
Person 3: yeah Person 1, she's a trans woman, trans women are women, and trans rights are human rights!

Get the trans rights mug.Such rights include legal protections against discrimination in employment, housing, public accommodations and credit based soley on a person's actual or perceived sexual orientation. Currently only 15 states and the District of Columbia have such laws in effect that protect against such discrimination in the USA. That means that shamefully it's currently legal to discriminate against gays and lesbians in these areas in 35 states!!!
In other words, a gay or lesbian person can be denied or fired from a job, refused an apartment or right to buy a house, be denied a hotel room, be denied service at a restaurant, or entrance to a club or credit simply because of who they are in 35 states and can't do a damn thing legally about the injustice! Technically, a heterosexual can be discriminated against too!
There are no federal laws in place to protect gay and lesbian people from such discrimination. Although a bill is pending in Congress that would at least outlaw workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation, the republican controlled Congress won't allow it to come up for a vote on the floor!!! Some republicans claim we need hearings to determine the need, but refuse to hold any. Others like to point to costly frivolous lawsuits as an excuse for not supporting it, yet fail to reconcile that against their own claims that homosexuals only make up 1% of the US population! Others who make religious objections, refuse to admit that the bill provides exceptions to religious organizations!
Further, passing such laws would not stifle free speech against homosexuals anymore than existing laws against religious bigotry outlaw the right to speak against religious extremism!
Contrary to the assertions of right-wing religious extremists these are not special rights but an extension of civil rights that heterosexuals and other minorities take for granted. We already have laws that protect against religious bigotry, which is a choice and a benign characteristic unlike race or gender. Thus a person's choice to live openly as a homosexual should be extended the same protections under the law.
In regards to homosexual relationships, gay and lesbian couples currently only have some form of legal protection of their relationships in 4 states through either marriage, civil unions or domestic partnerships. Since such arrangements are only recognized in 4 states, gay relationships have no protection in 46 states!
These protections among other things offer security to the couples and promote stability!Such relationships, for example, assure that their assets won't be stolen by the family of a deceased partner upon death leaving the surviving partner in the street. Again, marriage, or whatever you wish to call it, is a right to security that heterosexuals take for granted that extends beyond procreation. Gays and Lesbians shouldn't have to incur unnecessary costs trying to provide for their partner through costly legal documents that are often challenged in court by families and invalidated!

Gay Americans should have some right in the USA to legally have their relationships recognized as a basic human right!

Get the Bill of Rights mug.
A human rights deactivist is a person who constricts another person’s rights due to external or stereotypical factors. These are the oppressors of the activists. They will often protest against the sane, rational demands made by the true activists. These are the disgusting douches who will try to silence the truth. They will spread lies on the media to defame those who are simply fighting for their rights.
Person 1: All of these human rights deactivists are trying to take away women’s rights to abortion!
Person 2: Yes, they’re starting arguments online and trying to stop protests by misleading the uniformed citizens.
Person 1: People have a right to abortion. It’s their body and those human rights deactivists are trying to take their rights away!
Person 2: Period.
