Scope of Explicitly Transgender-Inclusive Anti-Discrimination Laws

Laws and Legislation

Abstract:

"These charts include laws that have legislative language that makes clear that transgender people are covered in the anti-discrimination law of the state, county or city. These charts do not include jurisdictions with favorable court or administrative rulings that have determined that “sex” or “disability” discrimination laws protect transgender people. This first chart includes jurisdictions that protect people from discrimination by private and public entities. The second chart includes jurisdictions that only protect the employees of that jurisdiction." (from document)
