Theoretically it should take only two words for Dallas Area Rapid Transit to amend its nondiscrimination policy to include transgender employees. DART could simply add "gender identity" to the policy and be done with it. Instead, DART wants to add about 30 words, and LGBT advocates aren't quite sure why.

DART's Board of Directors will again consider an amendment adding transgender protections to the policy this afternoon. The proposal came about in response to the agency's alleged discrimination against a trans bus driver. If the amendment is approved today, it would go to a final vote Tuesday, June 22.
