Bill would require transgender-rights training for CA employers

Transgender and gender-nonconforming employees will receive greater and more explicit protections this week as new California employment regulations take effect Saturday.

But some worry the new regulations might put employers in a difficult place: wanting to do right by their employees and follow the law, but lacking the resources — and the training — to do so.

That’s why state Sen. Ricardo Lara, D-Bell Gardens (Los Angeles County), gutted his own higher education bill to put forth a new proposal that would institute mandatory workplace training around gender identity and expression in the same way that sexual-harassment training is required today.

Gender identity refers to the gender a person uses to identify themselves — male, female or neither, an identity more commonly known as genderqueer or nonbinary — while gender expression has to do with how a person presents themselves in dress, speech or behavior.

You’re right on that for sure.

Thanks for putting things in better perspective.

How'bout a bill requiring blood tests to determine sexual identity by chromosome content and to require "training" on the associated concepts of basic human reproductive biology?

XX + XX = FAIL

XY + XY = FAIL

XX + XY = Human
