Transgneder Title VII Discrimination Claims
Spotted this somewhere else and thought it would be of interest to some here:
http://miamiherald.typepad.com/gayso...imination.html
In a landmark ruling, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has announced that Title VII, the federal sex discrimination law, protects employees who are discriminated against because they are transgender. In its unprecedented decision, the EEOC concluded that “intentional discrimination against a transgender individual because that person is transgender is, by definition, discrimination ‘based on … sex’ and such discrimination … violates Title VII.” The EEOC is the federal agency that interprets and enforces federal employment discrimination law, and today’s decision marks the first time it has offered clear guidance on this issue.

Re: Transgneder Title VII Discrimination Claims
Well it's only logical, but I suspect this decision will still need to be upheld in court.
