Just what we need: MORE federal laws, when we currently have too many to even count
It’s not actually a new law, it’s a clarification of a law that already exists. The supreme court ruled in 2020 that it’s illegal to harass employees on the basis of sexuality or gender identity. The EEOC just issued a clarification that misgendering and bathroom bans count as harassment.

Yeah, before this rule clarification, there was a magic force field protecting all women’s bathrooms from rapists. It was literally impossible for women to get raped before we decided to protect the basic human rights and dignity of trans people. I’ve certainly never been sexually assaulted or harassed by cis men, but now I’ll have to live in fear, because of woke.
Stop being a rapist and you will be fine. We believe every person starts equal, if you do not. Fuck off and find yourself at home in a place like the taliban
Ya make sure to tell that to the bathroom guards that Hunter Biden stages at every bathroom in the country, they’ll let you in every time. Enjoy all of your teen stalking desires! Good thing everyone is so woke now or else you couldn’t be a fucking creep 👍
well you need to get the forms signed by 32 doctors over the course of 10 years and submit to a genital inspection by the campus bathroom inquisitor while carrying your stack of records that prove your gender is correct.
The reality of working with trans people will mean you slip up and use the wrong pronouns sometimes. These laws are going to add fear to speaking to trans people let alone hiring them. And what if they’re abused?
I like the intent but I think these will be counter-productive to helping the trans community.
Yeah, nah mate.
That frankly sounds like concern trolling. You’re worried these laws with harm trans people yet they’ve got states outright making laws to harm trans people such as refusing to use their name, or letting them use the right toilet. Doing things that make it less likely for them to get a job, seek help in an emergency, etc.
These laws will do far more good than the small risk of one or two trans people ever abusing them.
The key word in the guidance is “persistently” misgendering. So if someone gets the pronouns right 95% of the time, that’s hardly “persistent”. These guidelines target employers/people who willfully and purposefully mis gender/discriminate. If you’re trying to claim these rules make you afraid to talk to trans people, you might want to take a long hard look at your own biases/phobias.
Ya I totally hated that one time I got fired from my CEO job because Google autocorrected she to he one time. 😂
Is it really that fucking hard to remember a pronoun? Especially when someone devoted time and energy and specifically asked to be referred to a specific way? Sounds like a you problem.
these laws are going to make certain social media users obsess about what could go wrong with these rules despite the fact such rules often aren’t well enforced to begin with. Just gonna say, often you have to be really going out of your way being an asshole to get hit by this kind of stuff.
