Discrimination Against Transgender Employees in NYC

New York City prohibits discrimination against transgender people in the workplace. The Transgender Rights Bill in New York City was passed to provide protections for transgender individuals against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.  Under the NYC Human Rights Law, gender is defined as gender identity, self-image, behavior, and expression.

Transgender individuals have many workplace rights which employers are required to accommodate. For example, transgender employees have the right to be called by their preferred pronoun. Employers are also
prohibited from requiring transgender employees from using single-occupancy bathrooms, or implementing a dress code based on perceived gender stereotypes.
