Title: Laws in NY state?
Post by: mtfbuckeye on February 16, 2010, 04:14:57 AM
Can anyone tell me a bit about the laws in NY state regarding transpeople? If there's an obvious link that I'm missing, I apologize... it would be great if someone just pointed me in the right direction. :)

Various cities in New York (NYC, Albany) have their own gender identity and  expression employment protection laws.
The state-wide law on overall discrimination (GENDA (https://www.susans.org/wiki/GENDA)) comes up every year but has not managed to pass yet.
New York is one of those states that a therapist's letter is sufficient to get a gender marker change on a driver's license.

Thanks for the info! That's good news about the drivers license.
