Federal judge strikes down workplace protections for transgender workers
AP on their own site ^ | May 16, 2025 | CLAIRE SAVAGE

A federal judge in Texas struck down guidance from a government agency establishing protections against workplace harassment based on gender identity and sexual orientation.

Judge Matthew J. Kacsmaryk of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas on Thursday determined that the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission exceeded its statutory authority when the agency issued guidance to employers against deliberately using the wrong pronouns for an employee, refusing them access to bathrooms corresponding with their gender identity, and barring employees from wearing dress code-compliant clothing according to their gender identity because they may constitute forms of workplace harassment.

Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act protects employees and job applicants from employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex and national origin.

The EEOC, which enforces workplace anti-discrimination laws, had updated its guidance on workplace harassment in April of last year under President Joe Biden for the first time in 25 years. It followed a 2020 Supreme Court ruling that gay, lesbian and transgender people are protected from employment discrimination.

It is definitely time to defund the America-hating, Supremacist Court and close that old dinosaur down. The bastards are now siding with foreign, illegal alien criminals against Americans. Screw the Supreme Court. Raggedy assed college kids in black robes aiding and abetting enemies of America who are all lawbreakers. FSCOTUS.

WHERE DO AMERICANS GO TO SEEK JUSTICE!!! Surely not to the sorry assed fruitcakes in the Feral courts.

Of course that can't happen, constitution and all. But glad you got that off your chest.

At the company I have worked at, I had to attend a meeting that had a gay manager and a gay employee (not specifically outed, to my knowledge, but commonly known as gay) leading it. The gay employee was very sternly accusing the rest of us for not being willing to Allyship to help gays move forward.

One straight guy spoke up and asked, “I don't mind helping gay people move ahead, but how are we supposed to know who is gay, to be able to help them? I don't know of a gay list the company keeps.”

At that, the director over the manager with the gay employer then inserted herself and said, “That is a very good point and I am not sure how this could even begin to be done. I will ask the manager how this could be addressed, off line.”

Two months later, that manager announced his retirement and the director never got back to the whole group on how to identify gays to help them.

The place is hostile to non-DEI people.

“Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act protects employees and job applicants from employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex and national origin.”

What’s important to note here is that once a law is passed, it then becomes possible for evil people (as in Democrats) to LEVERAGE that law in a way it was never intended, and if they control the courts, then the only way to stop them from doing exactly that is...(I’ll leave it at that).

(to help gays move forward.)

The Godless and the Reprobate will never stop their push until the whole WORLD 🌍🌎🌏 submits to Sodom and Gomorrah Part Deux.

Any accommodation becomes a beachhead to push on to the next objective. Look at all that has happened since the Lying Kenyan Barack Hussein Obama performed his abomination of the White House.

They HATE the Word of God. Satan, his demons and the goats 🐐🐐🐐 have been at this battle for 4,200+ years since the Days of Lot.

SATAN is using the Godless Reprobate Agendas to destroy our society and the World 🌎🌍 with his old lies from Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis chapter 19

Meanwhile in America, Son of Satan Barack Hussein Obama and his Legion of Goats 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐 work openly and by stealth (USAID for example) to accomplish Satan's Agenda of turning the whole world 🌍🌏🌎 into an LGBTQ2+ Version of Sodom and Gomorrah from Genesis chapter 19.

Soon will come a demon-possessed person to complain - they MUST run interference for the homosexual agenda

We ARE in the Days of Lot, just as prophesied by Jesus Christ Himself.


All according to SATAN'S plan.

Rainbow White House happened on Friday, June 26, 2015



Do NO harm, Christians, but reject this
Godless Reprobate Agenda.

(For the thread)





This LGBTQ+ cancer is all over our Society - the world too 🌏🌎🌍 - Which is why I preach (and pray 🙏🛐🙏✝️🙏 others will SHARE the images and the Scriptures (for the thread)

YES - it’s what they do


Sodom and Gomorrah are referenced in
the New Testament as an example for
ALL subsequent generations.

Elsewhere Jesus notes that rejecting the Gospel is even worse. WOW 😮

2nd Peter 2:6-9
King James Version

6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;

7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the Wicked:

8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)

9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the Day of Judgment to be punished:

Matthew 10:14-16
21st Century King James Version

14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words,
when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

15 Verily I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of
Sodom and Gomorrah in the Day of Judgment than for that city.

16 “Behold, I send you forth as Sheep in the midst of Wolves.
Be ye therefore wise as Serpents and harmless as Doves.

Oh, hell naw.

I would openly identify as gay and bring my husband to every single function, flaunting that I am actually straight yet daring anyone to say anything. I would wear headbands with rainbows on springs above my head, a rainbow horse tail and rainbow glitter eyeshadow. I would mock that so hard that YOUR teeth would hurt.

I would demand mental health days off (to go to the beach or just to stay home) and tell them I should get paid double on those days to make up for society’s discrimination of me.

Protections? It was more like discrimination against others.
