"What's in your pants? SEPTA wants to know."

This sign - complete with a drawing of a pair of undies - was just one slogan at the 15th Street SEPTA station yesterday as a transgender-rights group protested SEPTA's refusal to remove gender stickers from its TransPasses.

Riders Against Gender Exclusion or RAGE, which staged the protest of about 40 people, also organized a mini-drag show, spoken poetry and speeches during rush hour in the crowded station.
