"New York State is kicking off a health care initiative to improve services for transgender people, state officials announced Friday.

"My office is committed to ensuring equal and respectful access to medical care for all New Yorkers, regardless of their gender identity," Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said in a statement. His office is partnering on the initiative with the Greater New York Hospital Association, Mt. Sinai Health Systems and Lambda Legal, an LGBT civil rights organization. "

At least some states are enlightened - Kudos and Thank You! to NY Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.
