Federal Court Rules Transgender Discrimination Lawsuit Against Library of Congress Can Proceed
The ACLU has issued this press release. It indicates:
Finding that sex may not be “a cut-and-dried matter of chromosomes,” the court ruled that federal protections against sex discrimination may also protect transgender people who are discriminated against based on their gender identity . . .
The lawsuit charges that the Library of Congress unlawfully refused to hire Schroer in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which protects against sex discrimination in the workplace. The Library of Congress moved to dismiss the case claiming that transgender people are not covered under Title VII. Today the court rejected those claims and the case will now proceed to trial.
