Transgender people don't even exist under the law

While sexual orientation is at least addressed in hate crimes law,
gender identity is not. Not only are transgender Delawareans mostly
invisible in public discourse, as far as Delaware law is concerned,
they do not exist as such.
Transgender residents are also not protected by federal law. Most
courts have ruled transgender citizens are not included under Title
VII, which bans sex discrimination. The Americans with Disabilities
Act explicitly exempts transgender people. Yet more than one
transgender person is murdered in this country each month, and
discrimination against them abounds.
