DOJ: Businesses Can Discriminate Against Transgender Workers
Solicitor General Noel Francisco told the high court that a civil rights law banning sex discrimination on the job doesn’t cover transgender bias. That approach already has created a rift within the Trump administration, contradicting the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s view of the law it’s tasked with enforcing.
A Michigan funeral home wants the high court to overturn a U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit decision finding that the company violated federal workplace discrimination law when it fired Aimee Stephens, a transgender worker. The EEOC successfully sued on behalf of Stephens in that case, but the Justice Department has the sole authority to represent the government before the Supreme Court. The DOJ told the high court that the Sixth Circuit got the case wrong.
“The court of appeals misread the statute and this Court’s decisions in concluding that Title VII encompasses discrimination on the basis of gender identity,” Francisco said in a brief filed with the court.

i need to make sure that the people who do things for me, whether it's to clean floor, write computer code, sell widgets, or manage other people are doing so with their original genitals.
i don't see how anyone can clean floors properly after installation of a genital revision.
they may consider it an upgrade, but i'm an expert in all sorts of things like managing floor cleaners, and i can tell you that it's gonna impair their ability to clear floors. when wielding a mop, the innate, instinctive relationship someone has with their original genitals is instrumental to proper mopping technique. same goes for programming computers, sales, management, etc.
seriously, business discrimination particularly pisses me off.
they are literally fighting for a "right" to make demonstrably bad business decisions in order to practice their hate.
by definition, it's a bad business decision. it only comes up when they make a demonstrably *bad* business decision, such as not hiring the best person on the grounds that they're transgender.
