    THREAD: While Bostock v. Clayton County is a win for protection against being fired for being lesbian/gay/transgender, the Court’s decision to anchor its analysis on biological sex is also a win for the sex-based rights of women/girls/homosexuals. 1/21 https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/19pdf/17-1618_hfci.pdf …

        1. BACKGROUND.  This is a consolidation of 3 cases where individuals were fired b/c they were homosexual or transgender--2 cases involving gay men (Donald Zarda [deceased] & Gerald Bostock), and 1 case involving a transgender man (Aimee Stephens [deceased]). 2/21

        None of these cases have gone to trial. They were at SCOTUS due to dismissal/summary judgment decisions at the district & appellate court levels. 2.  NARROW IN SCOPE.  This decision is *only* about whether someone can be fired based on sexual orientation or transgender 3/21

        status under 42 U.S.C. 2000e-2(a)(l). The transgender question presented (QP) specifically states this, as does Justice Gorsuch who wrote the majority opinion. The sexual orientation QP is arguably 4/21 https://www.supremecourt.gov/docket/docketfiles/html/qp/18-00107qp.pdf … https://www.supremecourt.gov/docket/docketfiles/html/qp/17-01618qp.pdf … https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section2000e-2&num=0&edition=prelim …

        broader. 3. GENDER ROLES. Despite being in one of the QPs, the majority only mentioned stereotypes twice, & only in passing. Zero substantive analysis. Thus, the notion this case is a referendum on “gender roles” is inaccurate. Again, these case have not yet been tried. 5/21pic.twitter.com/tXdgC9xXQG

        4. BIOLOGICAL SEX--GENERALLY.   Overall, this case does not bode well for the transgender community. It anchors the claim of discrimination on biological sex, while genderists seek to subordinate biological sex to gender identity. However, the objective fact of binary, 6/21

        sex, & thus is “because of sex” per the statute. That these gay men wld not have been fired had they been *women* attracted to men. This transgender man wld not have been fired had he been a *woman* & said he wanted to “live as a woman.” This is key for sex-based rights. 8/21

        However, Justice Gorsuch, in response *specifically stated* this opinion *does not* extend to any of these issues/other statutes. Incl issues *within Title VII.* Again, activists may try to argue otherwise; but this is, again, contrary to the plain language of the Court. 15/21pic.twitter.com/tX9oe15xrz

        7. THE CRA & SEX ADD'L COMMENTARY. 3 issues: a. "Because of Sex". Sex should not include sexual orientation or gender identity. The majority’s arguments are unpersuasive, & clearly flout the plain meaning of the phrase “because of sex” at the time the CRA was passed. 16/21

        Is used against them.  In this profession, reasonable minds often differ; the fact this view holds the majority does not mean it's correct, as many SCOTUS decisions attest. One of my favorite quotes is from former Supreme Court justice Robert Jackson who said of SCOTUS: 18/21

        “We are not final because we are infallible, but we are infallible only because we are final.” b. Conflict. Gender identity, as trans ppl intend for it to be applied, inherently conflicts with sex. The sex-based rights of women, girls, & lesbians cannot exist if males can 19/21

        avail themselves of those same rights based upon their “internal sense of being male/female;" a concept which, BDD aside, is based on sexist stereotypes & does not change their sex. c. Finally, the CRA is not the appropriate legislation for this & is being used as a mule. 20/21

        As noted at the HR 5 hearings, neither age nor disability discrimination are incl in the CRA. Both communities successfully launched concerted efforts to get their own legislation passed, & the LGB & T should have done the same instead of being shoehorned into the CRA. 21/21
