When you hear and see, as I do, the phrase "Bathroom Bill" used every time an antidiscrimination bill or ordinance comes up for a local, state, or federal piece of legislation that includes gender identity or expression, you may conclude -- as I do conclude -- that transgender people having become the most visible boogiemen of social conservatives.

So maybe I shouldn't be surprised to have read this from a January 14, 2011 article by the Gay People's Chronicle, entitled Kasich lets LGBT job bias rule expire:

[...]

    Neither Ohio nor federal law provides any protection from anyone being fired because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. 🔗 [Link: pamshouseblend.com/diary/18497/rolling-​back-​civil-​protections-​-​%3E​-​bleeped-​%3C​-​-​civil-​protections-​for-​transgender-​people-​in-​ohio%5B​/url/]

I hate Ohio soooooooooo much.

I thought we'd even be able to change our gender marker on our birth certificate soon too.
