Although some argue that defining a change in gender identity as a disorder is wrong-headed and biased, the law does at least allow for people to live in society as their true gender without being outed every time they show ID. However, recent events have shown that although the law recognizes their gender, it doesn’t consider them equal to “naturally” born men and women.

Congressional watchers expect a renewed push in the U.S. House of Representatives to pass the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA).
