I looked recently at the page of New York State Bar Association, following a reader's tip, to verify whether NYSBA discriminates against transgender people in how it gathers demographic information from its members.
It actually does discriminate.
Here is NYSBA's webpage guiding new members through the process of joining association ask for certain "diversity" information.
Where asking for gender, NYSBA does not include "other" or "transgender" option. Apparently, such diversity is not welcome at NYSBA.
I wonder why, at the time of an ongoing and very public scandal with North Carolina and Georgia disciminating against transgender individuals, when the North Carolina State Attorney General took an extraordinary step of refusing to defend his own client the State of North Carolina, if it is sued for discrimination by transgender people, because actions of the State of North Carolina are indefensible, The New York State Bar Association stubbornly continues to make transgender people invisible.
Not enough money to do the corrections?
Or, rather, is it the policy of NYSBA to discriminate against transgender people?
