"A Manhattan federal judge said a transgender Occupy Wall Street protester may sue New York City for treating him differently from other male protesters following their arrests on the Brooklyn Bridge.

The decision made public on Monday is also notable because U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff said transgender people, like gay people, are a "quasi-suspect" class requiring judges to more closely scrutinize alleged discrimination against them."

Yea this is a good start as New York dose
not seem to *Get it*. I mean I guess
they think we just wake up one
day and instantly we are male or female.
It's not like that I mean many people
wait many years before transitioning.
I just hope that New York and other
states begin to relax about this stuff.
I mean all we want to do is live our
life.
