DOJ Takes a Stand: Sex Is Purely Biological, Civil Rights Act Doesn't Protect Transgenders
The Western Journal ^

Posted on 08/27/2019 6:54:30 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

The DOJ’s brief filed Friday in the R.G. and G.R. Harris Funeral Homes v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission case contended it is the role of Congress, not the courts, to amend the law to include gender identity, if it chooses to do so.

Aimee Stephens, a biological man who identifies as a woman, filed a complaint with the EEOC in 2014 for wrongful termination against R.G. and G.R. Harris Funeral Homes, claiming unlawful discrimination based on sexual identity.

The funeral home dress code has certain requirements in accordance with industry standards for men and women. Nevertheless, the EEOC determined the funeral home discriminated against Stephens by requiring its employee to dress as a man.

A federal district court ruled in the funeral home’s favor in 2016; in March 2018, however, the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found Stephens was wrongfully fired.

This is breaking news, assuming the headline is true.

Oh my, the Libtards are going to lose their minds on this one.

Yes, I agree (to some extent) that gender is a social construct--which means that if enough fools decide that there are 57 genders then that becomes part of the culture.

But biology is empirical. No DNA test will tell you that if someone is "gender fluid and queer." And surgically mutilating your genitalia does not change your DNA. And the reason that we have women's sports is because of biology. (Besides, if there are 57 genders for athletic purposes, how does one find enough competitors for Gender #45?)

Law.com reported that the EEOC did not sign on to the Trump DOJ’s brief appealing that ruling to the Supreme Court last week, indicating the agency does not support the administration’s position.

Some people at the EEOC need to be fired.

Great article thanks for posting.

LOL

Yeah this is REAL.

Sick of reading all this sh.t about 32 genders and freaks in dresses.

If you wanna do that at home, that’s your business.

I mean, I do it like twice a week but i have a hard time finding big enough skirt...

No wait. Forget all that.

OK. This is expected behavior by the DoJ as far as I am concerned. They get a C.

The fact that some view this as some great achievement or position shows how far we have slipped as a country.

Yup, even though the designs for this car look exactly like a AMC Gremlin, the car has declared that it’s a Lexus.

And, EVERY liberal judge in the land thinks the damned POS is a Lexus.

Leftist activists expect us to yield. They must be denied and ridiculed. Remember that “transgender” is only removed from trans-dragon by a matter of degree – the latter also involves some prosthesis and a bit of reconstruction, adding to that a fuel supply and ignition source.

Does declaring oneself a transgender woman cure prostate cancer?

Is this individual now vulnerable to ovarian cancer?

Natural Law is not to be mocked.

Only stating what the law has always been.

Congress repeatedly and uniformly refused over many years to extend the civil rights laws to homosexuals, let alone gender confused people.

“If, as a matter of law, anyone can be a woman, then no one is a woman, and sex-based protections in the law have no meaning whatsoever.”

Some people get it.

Transgenderism is a "mental disorder" that merits treatment, that sex change is "biologically impossible," and that people who promote sexual reassignment surgery are collaborating with and promoting a mental disorder.

Was thinking of someone who said she wanted Harris to be POTUS "because it's time we had a woman in the office." Well, if anyone can claim to be a woman, her campaign has been rendered meaningless, no?
