IN 2005, DISTRICT residents celebrated the enactment of some of the
country's strongest regulations against discrimination toward
transgender and gender non-conforming people. Largely as a result of
community organizing, "gender identity and expression" was added to
the list of protected categories in D.C.'s Human Rights Act — itself
one of the most comprehensive anti-discrimination laws in the United
States. This fall, a critical aspect of these historic regulations
might be reversed.
