Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder Declares Being Transgendered To Be A ‘Civil Right’
Now the End Begins ^ | 12/19/2014 | NTEB News Desk

Posted on 12/21/2014 5:22:01 PM PST by walford

Attorney General Holder announced today that the Department of Justice will take the position in litigation that the protection of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 extends to claims of discrimination based on an individual’s gender identity, including transgender status.

“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.” 1 Corinthians 6:9,10

Attorney General Holder informed all Department of Justice component heads and United States Attorneys in a memo that the department will no longer assert that Title VII’s prohibition against discrimination based on sex excludes discrimination based on gender identity per se, including transgender discrimination, reversing a previous Department of Justice position. Title VII makes it unlawful for employers to discriminate in the employment of an individual “because of such individual’s…sex,” among other protected characteristics.

Nearly a year after the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage, another social movement is poised to challenge deeply held cultural beliefs.

“This important shift will ensure that the protections of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 are extended to those who suffer discrimination based on gender identity, including transgender status,” said Attorney General Holder. “This will help to foster fair and consistent treatment for all claimants. And it reaffirms the Justice Department’s commitment to protecting the civil rights of all Americans.”

The Attorney General’s memo is designed to foster consistent treatment of claimants throughout the government and reduce confusion. In addition to applying to the department’s civil obligations in defending federal interests, this memo clarifies the Civil Rights Division’s ability to file Title VII claims against state and local public employers on behalf of transgender individuals. The Department of Justice does not have authority to file suit against private employers.

You might want to review my first comment. What you are referring to is “trans-sexual.”

“Trans-gender” involves no surgery. Hence you have the spectacle of your daughter being forced to shower at school with someone sporting a penis.

I bet they won't embrace the concept of defining your own race so enthusiastically.

The only thing Obama’s Attorney General did that would surprise me is doing something good and decent.

I personally am an 8-year-old girl trapped in a middle-aged man’s body and demand therefore to be admitted to the Brownies. I know I’d look adorable in the uniform.

Is there a chance that being conservative could be a civil right?

Are you talking about the one in which everybody decided that they were anything but what they were born as? One of them got surgery to resemble a dolphin and expected to be treated as such, complaining that there were no dolphin-friendly facilities, as I recall.

It is, but you need warm, clear water, and a boat that can pull at a steady 2-4 knots.
