If 'sex' in federal law is replaced with 'gender identity,' the government will be unable to ensure equal opportunities for women.
R.G. & G.R. Harris Funeral Homes has been serving grieving families in the Detroit area since 1910. But in recent years, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has targeted this small family-owned funeral home for punishment due to their refusal to participate in an employee’s so-called gender identity preferences.
Why? To achieve its political objective: replacing “sex” in Title VII, a federal law, with “gender identity.” This means bypassing Congress to completely change the meaning of federal laws intended to advance women by including men who say they are women in the same legal categories.
If Harris Funeral Homes loses, it could be forced to pay a price few small businesses can survive—hundreds of thousands of dollars. Worse yet, women could be forced to sacrifice something priceless that they have struggled for decades to achieve: legal equality.

On the government website they have the proposed wording for the revised “Equality Act”. It is not just about gender, and it evens says that one’s belief - “EVEN IF INACCURATE”!!
Excert:
“(g) The term ‘race’, ‘color’, ‘religion’, ‘national origin’, ‘sex’ (including ‘sexual orientation’ and ‘gender identity’), ‘marital status’, or ‘age’, used with respect to an individual, includes—
“(2) a perception or belief, even if inaccurate, concerning the race, color, religion, national origin, sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity), marital status, or age, respectively, of the individual.”
If I were to walk into one of the many auto parts stores in my area and found the person behind the counter was obviously a man in drag I would shop elsewhere.
This whole gender lunacy might just work out in my favor after all. The scam would begin will me duping my employer into treating me as a woman. Increase likelihood of preferential treatment thereafter by accusing random heteros (preferably white, conservative males) of ogling at my woman parts, making lewd and lascivious comments, and exposing themselves to me in the bathroom. Demand sensitivity training, more transgender representation in leadership positions, and my own non-gender bathroom as a safe space. No need to stop at misery, the goal is to make these normies suffer! Next step would be to game them for free time off due to “female” issues. Next, drop the good news on my coworkers that me and my non-gender conforming partner (Pat) are expecting. File discrimination complaints against anyone who displays an inappropriate reaction or who appears less than thrilled. File additional complaints against anyone who inquires or comments about fake pregnancy (I.E. - So, when are you, errr I mean, yee expecting? I wish had managed to stay that skinny when I was pregnant. Do you plan to breastfeed?) Finally, demand maternity leave so that mom can bond with baby. Any objections should be met with EEOC complaints.

that is the heart of the story.
Defund the EEOC
Steve Martin was ahead of his time.
“I was born a poor black boy.”
Except now he could be a poor black girl, born in Uganda.
“Decided at the federal level????”
From the article:
“the EEOC sued the Detroit business, claiming it had discriminated on the basis of sex. For this, the EEOC seeks punitive damages. On April 22, 2019, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear Harris Funeral Homes’ case. That case will decide whether federal agencies can rewrite federal law.”
Little confidence in the Court to actually go with what Congress said on this. Roberts and Kavanaugh are the ones I’m worried about.
‘All the women here wear jeans and a shirt.”
A wet tee-shirt?
I’m certainly glad SCOTUS is taking up important cases like this instead of dealing with cases like more and more Federal Judges stepping in and overruling any action Pres. Trump makes in trying to stop the illegal alien invasion or preventing payment to the baby killers in Planned Infanticide.
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
The states have never expressly constitutional given the feds the power to deal with sex-related issues outside the scope of voting rights, evidenced by the 19th Amendment.
19th Amendment:
"The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation [emphasis added]."
Also consider this.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
But brace yourselves for post-FDR era, institutionally indoctrinated conservative justices letting patriots down on this issue, actually helping to unconstitutional expand the already unconstitutionally big federal government's powers by doing so.
What about uniform?
It’s a tax...
Very true! The cable channels Sundance and TVLand broadcast M*A*S*H reruns - I enjoy them.
Max ditched the women's clothing around the time Radar left and he had to take over the company clerk job. Although he was still looking for a Section 8. Like the time Colonel Tucker (friend of Potter) caught him dressed like Cleopatra. LOL
Who says we aren’t a serious nation with the highest court in the land weighing the most important cases and establishing key legal precedents?
This time, thanks to modern medicine, the Steve Martin character in the Jerk could ask “You mean I’ll stay this way all my life?” and his mama will say, if your self-identification contours interface poorly with that ,they have gender reassingnment procedures.
Joke doesn’t sound as funny that way.
What about uniforms?
This is a case where a small business owner is being screwed by a Federal government agency. This is EXACTLY the kind of case the U.S. Supreme Court should be taking up.
