Massachusetts State Rep. Carl Sciortino (LA '00) is working to add gender identity to the state constitution's anti−discrimination statute in the hopes of strengthening legal protection for transgender rights.

The bill, which Sciortino (D−Medford, Somerville) is co−sponsoring in the legislature, would include "gender identity and expression" in the statute. Its passage would make Massachusetts one of 14 states to explicitly protect transgender persons from discrimination.
