Guidelines Regarding Gender Identity Discrimination

In December 2004, the Commission issued “Guidelines Regarding Gender Identity Discrimination” based on a 2002 amendment to the City’s Human Rights Law. These guidelines were created by the New York City Commission on Human Rights with the assistance of a working group from the LGBT community, as well as input from various city agencies and the private sector, to assist individuals and organizations in evaluating and handling gender identity issues.

These guidelines do not constitute legal advice. For specific questions regarding Local Law 3/2002, contact the New York City Commission on Human Rights, consult the Administrative code of the City of New York, or seek legal counsel.
