Chicago TGs also facing M/F transit passes problem

Remember the Riders Against Gender Exclusion (awesome acronym, BTW) protest earlier this week, in which transgender activists dressed in drag and marched around City Hall, in order to speak out against SEPTA's M/F gender transit passes?

It turns out that Chicago's TG community is grappling with a similar problem: Their rail system Metra also insists on keeping its M/F gender stickers, also because the company claims it cuts down on theft.
