(21) "Gender identity or expression" means a person's gender-related identity, appearance or behavior, whether or not that gender-related identity, appearance or behavior is different from that traditionally associated with the person's physiology or assigned sex at birth, which gender-related identity can be shown by providing evidence including, but not limited to, medical history, care or treatment of the gender-related identity, consistent and uniform assertion of the gender-related identity or any other evidence that the gender-related identity is sincerely held, part of a person's core identity or not being asserted for an improper purpose.
I want to point out to you all, I have heard a number of people say that the Connecticut law does not cover crossdessers and drag queens/king.
Read it where does it say that? It covers everyone! Even straights people if they were discriminated because they straight. It covers people who are thought to be trans.
It was designed that way on purpose. In some states the law is being challenged as discriminatory because it only protects trans people but law doesn't. Because it covers anyone who has been discriminated because of their gender identity or expression.
So many people just don't know their own stories.(for anyone that means Our Stories, I do not use HIS STORY.) I wonder what they think gender Identity or gender expression means? We certainly have some dumb people in our community. Or is it that they want to re-invent the wheel, get a crown for their heads? So many whine they don't like history, I don't either. But I find OurStories to be exciting so I study them. You should hear some of the comments I get on my blog. Wait till next month when a celebration of the Imperial Court and a bit of OurStories is published. I hope that they know if they throw a egg or tomato at me they might get something brown back at them as the people of Gaza are starving and I don't waste food.
