A California bill to improve legal protections for trans people has been approved by the state assembly.
The Gender Nondiscrimination Act (AB 887) passed with bipartisan support on a 54-24 vote on Monday. It will now go to the state Senate.
If passed, it will strengthen employment, housing, and other civil rights protections for all people who face discrimination based on gender identity and expression.
