   Perhaps the most surprising and controversial issue to emerge was that of "transpeople." Transpeople, as defined by the highly articulate Houston based Transpeople Caucus are "transexuals, transgenderists, transvestites, drag queens, and female impersonators." Phyllis Frye, a transgenderist from Houston, in fact opened the welcoming Friday night session. The original motion made by this caucus called for, "the term Gay Transpeople to be included in all statements...The demands as well as policy and media coverage." They also called for the changing of the name of the March to read "Lesbians, Gay Males and Gay Transpeople’s March on Washington."
