CARSON CITY -- A bill that spawned a controversial legislative hearing in 2009 attended by many transgender residents and their opponents has been revived by its sponsor.

Assemblyman Paul Aizley, D-Las Vegas, wants to prohibit discrimination based on one's "gender identity" or "gender expression." 

Under its provisions, Aizley said, people could not be fired from jobs just because they see themselves as males when they may have been born with female genitals, or vice versa. The bill also would protect those who are born with the genitals of both sexes, he said.
