@chrisgeidner Really? So EEOC recognizes gender identity but not sexual orientation? Or am I missing that? -
@btrethewy EEOC recognizes that gender identity/transgender discrimination is "sex discrimination" under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. -
@btrethewy That has been so since April 2012, and I've probably written about 100 stories since then on the topic or related ones. -
@chrisgeidner Great. Thanks. So states that still discriminate are violating EEOC? Love this stuff. -
@btrethewy EEOC can investigate any claim of discrim under Title VII. They've handled many trans claims w/in EEOC & sued on two this yr. -
@chrisgeidner Nice. Thanks for the info. Very enlightening. Guess that is why majority believes LGBT are protected. -
@btrethewy I doubt that's why, actually. This is a recent development, that few cover, and that belief was held by folks long before this. - 1 more reply
