Report it to the EEOC or your state if they do that.

The EEOC is on the gender bandwagon for sure. Biden's gender identity executive order on his first day in office directed federal agencies to incorporate gender into their activities and policies, so there is no way the EEOC under Biden will be helpful.

I either heard someone talk about, or read somewhere, that the EEOC is now complicit in enforcing gender ideology in the workplace. I'll see if I can find it.

Great, I would be interested in reading this.

On the EEOC & trans issues by a GC law professor. I think she's written or perhaps spoken more on the gender identity takeover of the EEOC; that might be further down her Twitter timeline.

The Williams Center is "a think tank at UCLA Law dedicated to conducting rigorous, independent research on sexual orientation and gender identity law and public policy."

W. Burlette Carter @wddaughter · Jan 24 Biden has named new chairs and vice chairs of the EEOC. The Vice Chair is Jocelyn Samuels, former head of the Williams Center, which has produced IMHO quite a bit of questionable writing in support of replacing sex with gender identity.

The EEOC is the agency that brought many of the lawsuits that altered US Law on trans issues in particular. They brought the Harris case and pushed the stereotyping theory mentioned above.

It is true that, in some cases, sex should not matter. There is a proper stereotyping theory in discrimination principles, but it has nothing to do with replacing sex with gender id.

In a Senate compromise, Samuels was appointed for a 6 mos term, but I think she can extend that term for an additional 6 months. I won’t get into the details of how that extension works, but consider her there for a year.

The president is the one who appoints the head of agencies. The agencies are considered a part of the executive branch. Biden's move is not aytypical. If the vice chair is a pro-trans lobbyist, then there is a problem. The people within the agencies are usually non-partisan and care about the agency.

I seem to remember hearing or reading that the EEOC itself was taken over on a rank-and-file level by gender ideologists. I don't know anything about the EEOC - would that even be possible?

Eh, this was one of my first thoughts, too, but the EEOC is ultra-liberal and may even sweep these types of legitimate complaints under the rug using "administrative discretion" (that they don't have).

It may literally have to come down to hostile workplace lawsuits to turn the tide.

Can't know until someone tries. I don't think the EEOC is all that biased because the law itself is not biased. They don't really have administrative discretion unless you mean whether to prosecute or not. They'll investigate and warn at least. But hostile workplace lawsuits from private attorneys would work too.

Didn't the EEOC participate on the side of the genderists in one of the gender lawsuits before the Supreme Court? (can you tell I'm not a lawyer?)

OK - found it.

Yes, this precisely. Not to drag left-right politics in as an example, but when it comes to federal law enforcement, the progressive/Democrat parties tend to be overtly favored.

Should be interesting to see if anyone starts filing related suits for Critical Race Theory trainings.
