Interestingly, the Washington Post article on this new ordinance did not mention gender identity or transgender protections, but reported on the story as if sexual orientation were the only element of the law.

In the linked article, the journalist misstates the meaning of the term gender identity. It sounds as if there hasn't been enough education in Loudoun County on gender identity issues.
