A transgendered straphanger got the green light to pursue a lawsuit against NYC Transit for "bigoted epithets" she said were hurled at her when she complained her MetroCard didn't work.

Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Robert Miller, in a decision released Monday, denied NYC Transit's request to dismiss the suit filed by Tracy Bumpus, 40, of Brooklyn.
