The Trump administration has taken significant steps to dismantle workplace protections for transgender individuals, interpreting federal sex recognition strictly as male and female based on biology at birth. This shift, initiated by a recent executive order, has led the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to withdraw support from various ongoing lawsuits that address discriminatory practices against transgender employees in several workplaces. Notably, cases from companies like Wendy's and Lush Cosmetics that include serious allegations of harassment and wrongful termination are now at risk, marking a troubling regression for transgender rights.
In a sweeping and deliberate attack on transgender rights, the Trump administration has moved to gut workplace protections for transgender and Americans, effectively endorsing discrimination under the guise of enforcing "biological truth."
