And that money should be for the benefit of all, but some want to take the money and keep some form its benefit.
They sat down with the residents and explained to the residents that she was also a victim of DV and do you know what the residents did? They accepted her and the shelter staff took her shopping.

A conservative Christian law firm that has pushed religious issues in multiple states urged a U.S. judge on Friday to block Alaska's largest city from requiring a faith-based women's shelter to accept transgender women.
Alliance Defending Freedom has sued the city of Anchorage to stop it from applying a gender identity law to the Hope Center shelter, which denied entry to a transgender woman last year. The lawsuit says homeless shelters are exempt from the local law and that constitutional principles of privacy and religious freedom are at stake.
Alliance attorney Ryan Tucker said many women at the shelter are survivors of violence and allowing biological men would be highly traumatic for them. He told U.S. District Judge Sharon Gleason that women have told shelter officials that if biological men are allowed to spend the night alongside them, "they would rather sleep in the woods," even in extreme cold like the city has experienced this week with temperatures hovering around zero.
They sat down with the residents and explained to the residents that she was also a victim of DV and do you know what the residents did? They accepted her and the shelter staff took her shopping.
Ryan Stuart, an assistant municipal attorney, countered that the preliminary injunction sought by plaintiffs was premature because an investigation by the Anchorage Equal Rights Commission had not been concluded, largely because of the shelter's noncooperation. The investigation is on hold.I hope that if this does go before the Supreme Court that all the DV shelter that have trans women write to the court telling their stories and not to let the haters be the only voice heard.
Stuart also said there is no homeless shelter exemption. If there is, he said, it is "a legal theory that cannot be described as obvious," he said.
Hate begets hate.
