For the purposes of this chapter the following definitions shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning.
DISABILITY. “Disability” as that term is defined in the Americans with Disabilities Act (the “ADA”), as may be amended from time to time, and as that definition may be interpreted by federal courts. To the extent that the ADA would require a person to be a “qualified individual with a disability” in order to be protected from a specific form or type of discrimination under the ADA, then the same is true with respect to this chapter.

appearance, expression, or behavior, whether or not such characteristics differ from those traditionally associated with the person’s assigned sex at birth.
