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 individuals 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 VIIs 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 individuals 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 Departments commitment to protecting the civil rights of all Americans.
The Attorney Generals memo is designed to foster consistent treatment of claimants throughout the government and reduce confusion. In addition to applying to the departments civil obligations in defending federal interests, this memo clarifies the Civil Rights Divisions 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.
Putting your arm through an industrial meat grinder is also a civil right, I guess.
how about right to your own labor a civil right?
That would do it.
