Transgender Rights

The Gender Non-Discrimination Act (GENDA):

This bill would add gender identity and expression to the list of protected classes in the state's existing Human Rights Law. It would protect transgender individuals and those who don’t fit the stereotyped norm of gender, like a feminine man or masculine woman, from being denied or fired from a job, harassed in the workplace, evicted by their landlords, refused service in a restaurant, given inadequate medical care and otherwise treated as second-class citizens solely because of their gender identity and expression.
