The New York State Supreme Court ruled last week that employees of the New York City Transit Authority are not exempt from the city's Human Rights Law, allowing a transwoman to proceed with a discrimination suit, according to a press release from Housing Works.
"The Human Rights Law affords protection to transgender people in New York City," Justice Robert J. Miller said. "By riding a subway, a transgender person doesn't become less of a person and lose the protection of the Human Rights Law."
