Looks like someone has posted a petition over at Change.org titled, "Urge Dallas Area Rapid Transit to Add Gender Identity to Nondiscrimination Policies." The petition had 126 signatures as of this morning. You can sign it by going here.

As we reported last week, DART's Board of Directors voted 6-5 to delay a decision on adding transgender protections, after some members requested additional information from the agency's attorneys. (Yes, the same attorneys who created this whole mess by sticking their noses in a transgender employee's family court case.) The board will take up the matter again June 15.
