"Sarah O'Neill, an out trans woman who works as a data scientist for the NSA, filed the lawsuit Monday in the U.S. District Court in Maryland. The suit claims that the Trump administration violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act by enforcing executive orders that deny the existence of trans people and force them into single-sex facilities based on their sex assigned at birth."
"Donald Trump signed the executive order immediately upon taking office that stated, against the medical and scientific consensus, "It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female. These sexes are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality." In implementing the order, government-issued identification documents such as passports were changed to show only one's sex assigned at birth,"
Sarah O'Neill is an out transgender woman and NSA data scientist who filed a federal lawsuit alleging civil-rights violations under Title VII. The suit contends executive orders enforced policies that deny gender identity, require use of single-sex facilities based on sex assigned at birth, and alter government identification. The complaint alleges workplace harassment including prohibitions on using female pronouns in written communications and barring access to women's restrooms. The suit cites the Supreme Court's Bostock v. Clayton County precedent protecting transgender employees from employment discrimination and points to broader harms such as funding threats and placement of trans inmates.
