What non-discrimination laws in Wisconsin exist to protect individuals on the basis of gender identity and expression?
Unfortunately, state nondiscrimination laws do not explicitly cover transgender people. It is possible that some incidents of discrimination against transgender people could be prohibited under the state’s ban on sex-based discrimination. Increasingly, state and local governments and private employers are adding “gender identity and expression” to existing nondiscrimination laws to clearly prohibit discrimination against transgender people. Currently in Wisconsin, only the City of Madison and Dane County include gender identity in their nondiscrimination ordinances/policies.
