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.

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

And you should demand that your car insurance pay for the conversion to a lexus- better yet, to a ferrari or bugatti or something

The best part is that the crazy has a 40% chance of offing himself, violently. HE'S going to discover that mutilating himself is not going to cure his body insanity.

So, there is no point in the State paying for something he's just going to waste...

You’re being discriminated against every time you have to choose a single gender. You should sue until they give you percentages to assign to each gender.

This is a true victory, if they stand firm.

I expect much lawfare will follow.

Yes, I agree (to some extent) that gender is a social construct

Gender as a "social construct" or "grammar construct" was invented in the 90's by progressives with an agenda that included destroying traditional gender identities. A "masculine" female has always been a female, and a "feminine" male still a male. Don't accept the left's hijacking of language and culture. Find an 80's dictionary and under GENDER you will find 3 options; Male, Female and Neutral (or None). Doesn't matter weather you are talking about biology, plumbing, or nuts and bolts.

Much lawfare. In the discovery phase, a blood or dna test establishes which gender the person is.

So much makeup, botox, plastic surgery and gender studies touchy feely BS wrecks and goes up in flames when you do a reality check, a dna test.

“” “” And the reason that we have women’s sports is because of biology. “” “”

Yes. Women’s sport is the place for the lefties to fall into cognitive dissonance.
According to their ideology the women should cave but it is too big an issue for it to work and generally speaking women is a group too large for them to sacrifice for transsexuals.

I don’t believe the DOJ has much of a leg to stand on until President Trump rescinds EO 13672 that Obama implemented or the SC rules it unconstitutional. I was hoping President Trump would have rescinded both EO 13673 and 13672 at the same time.

Trump revokes executive order, weakens protections for LGBT workers

Love it—so well put. We have to pull back from the abyss of total illogic or life in common in our country will become intolerable.

“I think that’s actually a brilliant point.”

It is absolutely a brilliant point. The nutcases on the left think they should be able to have everything two ways or three or fifty seven different ways all at once.
