Federal judge strikes down workplace protections for transgender workers
- Federal Judge Matthew J. Kacsmaryk struck down the EEOC's workplace harassment guidance on Thursday in Texas.
- The challenge arose because the guidance, updated under President Biden in April 2023, extended protections to gender identity and sexual orientation, which Texas and the Heritage Foundation disputed as exceeding EEOC authority.
- The EEOC guidance addressed issues like using incorrect pronouns, bathroom access, and clothing aligned with gender identity as possible harassment forms, following a 2020 Supreme Court ruling protecting LGBTQ employment rights.
- Kacsmaryk argued that the guidance imposes enforceable requirements on employers with potential legal repercussions for noncompliance, asserting that it contradicts the language and established interpretation of Title VII and emphasizing that the law does not mandate disregarding biological distinctions between men and women.
- The ruling, praised by the Heritage Foundation but condemned by the National Women's Law Center as contrary to Supreme Court precedent, does not change the law but may hinder enforcement of LGBTQ workplace protections.
