Philadelphia City Councilman Jim Kenney has introduced a bill that will dramatically increase protections for LGBT people in the city, but especially transgender people.
The measure was originally meant to add on to Philadelphia’s existing domestic-partner laws, but the new bill also includes provisions mandating gender-neutral bathrooms, banning discrimination based on gender identity and expression, and giving extra support to companies who offer health benefits for employees’ domestic partners.
The legislation mandates that any new building constructed by the city must include gender-neutral bathrooms and that gender-neutral bathrooms be established at current city properties when bathroom renovations are undertaken.
One year from its passage, the legislation would require all new city forms to be gender-neutral, except under special circumstances, such as if the gender designations are required by state or federal law.
The city’s Fair Practices Ordinance, which enforces the LGBT-inclusive nondiscrimination law, would be amended to specifically prohibit employers from failing to permit employees to dress in accordance with their gender identity. The public-accommodations section of the law would also be changed to ban entities from refusing or denying “any person access to any separate-gender bathroom where the person’s gender identity is consistent with the gender for which such bathroom is reserved.”Zam, this is all incredibly impressive. As the article notes, the last big milestone is addressing trans discrimination in health care, but the way Philly’s going, that hopefully won’t be too far off.
