Federal agency shifts stance on transgender discrimination complaints, but hurdles remain
UNITED STATES, JUL 15 – The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission now permits some transgender discrimination complaints on hiring, firing, and promotion to proceed under increased scrutiny and final agency approval.
- On July 15, 2025, the EEOC will allow some transgender discrimination complaints to move forward, reversing earlier guidance that indefinitely stalled all such cases.
- Earlier this year, the EEOC's Andrea Lucas defended dropping lawsuits to comply with President Donald Trump's executive order, intersecting with the Bostock v. Clayton County ruling to inform the policy shift.
- In practice, complaints must be reviewed by a senior attorney advisor and sent to Lucas for final approval, reflecting a heightened review process not typical for other discrimination charges.
- According to Feldblum, 'It is a slight improvement because it will allow certain claims of discrimination to proceed,' while complaints still face higher scrutiny requiring acting EEOC chair Andrea Lucas’s approval.
- Yet, while EEOC spokesperson says all charge inquiries are confidential, Colclough’s email did not clarify review timelines or claim eligibility.

Stay or go? For some transgender sailors and Marines, Trump’s ban leaves one option: ‘Come and find me’
Saddie Kolterman imagines she’s on a sinking ship. The room she’s in is slowly filling with water. She can see a window to escape, but it’s just out of reach. Even if she does get out, she has no idea what she’ll find beyond — an island, or just an expanse of open ocean. For the 26-year-old, life in the U.S. military is all she has ever known. Now, the Trump administration’s ban on transgender troops from the military is leaving her adrift — an …
