The latest set of regulations regard police conduct when interacting with trans individuals. You can view it here. Among other things, it mandates that officers:
-must not suspect a person of a crime because of being transgender
-must not search a person to determine their gender
-must respect the gender identity presented by any individual, including using the pronouns and name they identify
-not put transgender women in cells with men, or transgender men in cells with women
There's more to it, which you can read in the actual general order, but also the DC Trans Coalition will be making a fact sheet soon detailing the information in the general order. Remember to educate yourself and others, and stand up for your rights! If you have any questions, please call Different Avenues at 202.829.2103 and we'll be glad to help and support you any way we can.
Other regulations were previously established - here's some examples:
-- Trans people have the right to restrooms and other gender-specific facilities consistent with their gender identity or expression, and all single stall restrooms in DC are required to be gender-neutral.
-- Failing to stop or prevent harassment is considered discrimination, including harassment by coworkers in the workplace, students in an educational setting, and co-tenants in rental housing.
-- Employers must treat trans-related needs as a legitimate medical need.
-- Transgender people can safely list their gender under "sex" on applications and an employer cannot accuse them of misrepresentation.
-- Transgender people can list their name on job applications, even if it is not their legal name.
-- Information about a person's transgender status must be kept confidential.
-- Misuse of pronouns, asking invasive questions, and "outing" a transgender person are all evidence of harassment and can be a cause for action.
--Trans people can get the gender marker on their DMV ID to reflect their true gender identity. A new form is available in DMV offices and on the DMV web site, which a doctor, counselor, caseworker or representative of a social service agency can sign and no other information will be required to make the change.
