Governor Deval Patrick signed the Transgender Equal Rights Bill on November 26, 2011. The new law will provide additional civil rights protections to the transgender community, including protections against hate-crimes. Transgender citizens in Massachusetts will be protected from discrimination in the areas of employment, education, and housing.
There are about 33,000 transgender residents in Massachusetts, according to the Office of the Governor. Massachusetts is the 16th state to designate transgender individuals as a protected class.
