Meet Marylanders: Remy
My name is Remy and I’m 26 years old. I grew up in Western Maryland, but now I live in Baltimore City where I’m a medical student. Med school doesn’t leave me much free time, but when I have it, I enjoy reading, indoor rock climbing, and playing saxophone.
I hope that my home state passes the gender identity anti-discrimination law in this legislative session because I shouldn’t have to fear discrimination. Without anti-discrimination protections, transgender Marylanders live in the fear of losing their jobs or being denied housing simply because of who they are. Simple things like filling out a job application become a lot more stressful when they shouldn’t have to be. It’s time to end discrimination on the basis of gender identity and expression because all Marylanders should be able to provide for themselves and their families
