Discrimination Lawsuit on Basis of Septa Gender Stickers

* NOTICE RE: SEPTA GENDER MARKER POLICY -- PLEASE CIRCULATE WIDELY*

Equality Advocates (formerly the Center for Lesbian and Gay Civil
Rights) is representing a transgender client who has filed a complaint with thePhiladelphia Commission on Human Relations, challenging SEPTA's gender marker policy for transpasses. In order to ensure that the complaint is treated as an isolated incident, we want to submit stories from other individuals who have had similar experiences

*If you have been denied the use of a transpass (or have been harassed when using a transpass) because of the gender marker policy, and are willing to come forward, please contact us! * In addition, please distribute this notice to *anyone* you know who may have had problems as a result of SEPTA's gender marker policy.

If you contact us, a law student advocate will take down your name and draft an affidavit based on the information. We will then ask for you to come in to our office to sign and notarize the affidavit. Please note that this does not create an attorney/client relationship, and will not result in a formal complaint being filed on your behalf. If you want to file a claim of your own, please ask us about this, and we can discuss how you can do so
