So it is lawful to discriminate against transsexuals?

» Ambiguously Gendered , » Sodomitical Polity

That appears to be the government’s argument against former U.S. Customs and Border Protection employee Tracy Nichole Sturchio.

Attorneys for the federal government had argued that past decisions held that transsexuals were not members of a protected class under the Civil Rights Act of 1964. That landmark federal law made it unlawful to discriminate against a person because of sex, religion, race or national origin.

Thanks for covering this story. However, I am not a former employee. I work for Customs and Border Protection. I am no longer working for the CBP/Border Patrol.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about So it is lawful to discriminate against transsexuals?. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
