Transit riders heading out of Center City Tuesday afternoon encountered more than the usual rush hour at the rails.

About 40 members and supporters of Riders Against Gender Exclusion rallied inside the SEPTA concourse at 15th and Market streets Tuesday to protest the use of gender markers on SEPTA transpasses, which demonstrators said discriminate against transgender and non-gender-conforming riders.

R.A.G.E. member Max Ray said the group was motivated to mobilize this week because of continued inaction on the part of SEPTA representatives on the issue.
