In the final days of the state legislative session in Albany, advocates are pushing to pass the Gender Recognition Act into law. The bill would streamline the process, remove financial barriers, and make it much easier for transgender, intersex, and non-binary New Yorkers to ensure that their birth certificate, driver's license and other identification documents accurately reflect who they are. Eòghann Renfroe spoke with WOOC correspondent Corinne Carey about the importance of the bill for these members of the community to have access to jobs, apartments, medical care, and safety.
