"On 1 September 2015, the second plank of Jersey's discrimination legislation came into force. As a trans person on the island you are protected under the characteristic of gender reassignment. Now if you experience less favourable treatment in the workplace, as either an employee or a client of a provider of goods and services, you have the ability within law to take the case to the Jersey Employment and Discrimination Tribunal. If they find for you, it may result in compensation of up to £10,000 for a single claim. (Jersey has set a limit for compensation unlike other jurisdictions."

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see how Jersey's laws are much different from anti-discrimination laws anywhere else.

You've never been to Ohio, have you?
