DART indicates that it would still oppose an employee's gender-marker change

As I noted yesterday, Dallas Area Rapid Transit is moving forward with a proposal to add transgender protections to its nondiscrimination policy. But does this mean the agency will no longer attempt to intervene if an employee seeks a gender-marker change? When I posed this very question to DART spokesman Morgan Lyons yesterday, he responded by acknowledging that the agency has learned lessons from the current controversy involving a transgender bus driver, including things related to uniforms and restroom use. But Lyons added that when it comes to the issue of gender-marker changes, DART is standing its ground.

"We've got a current legal opinion that provides direction in this case, and we haven't seen anything to change that," he said. "I wouldn't anticipate anything different than what was done previously absent new direction."
