Transgender Discrimination Legal Steps
Summary
In New Mexico, businesses cannot refuse service based on discrimination related to race, religion, gender, or disability. If you believe you were discriminated against, document the incident, file a complaint with the New Mexico Human Rights Bureau, and seek legal advice. For guardianship, a court determines the need based on evidence, and a petition is filed. The ward may lose decision-making rights but can petition for changes. Legal representation is advised.Full Conversation

I was trying to rent a room for a night at a local hotel. They were going to rent me a room until they saw my driver's license. I am a transgender woman and I believe that because my license says female and my picture looks different from my current look they told me I'm on a Do not rent list because I caused problems at one of their locations. I have never been to any of these hotels before. So how I got on a ist is baffling.
