Suppose a state adopted legislation designed to protect persons from discrimination based on gender identity (i.e., the legislation protected transexuals from discrimination in employment, housing, etc.). Would this be constitutional?

Yes, it could. If there is already legislation in some state that protects the rights of homosexual or transexual people, it could set an example of respect for gender diversity that could be taken into the United States Congress to pass all the process of a Bill.

For instance, Congressmen can initiate the process to pass a Bill in the United States Congress. A representative or a Senator can sponsor the Bill and introduce it in the box called "the hopper." The Bill has to go to a committee to be discussed and if deemed, making changes. Then Congressmen debate the Bill and pass it to the other house for further debate. If it passes, then it is sent to the President for signing, although the President has the veto power.
