Texas sues Biden admin to block transgender mandate on pronouns, dress codes, bathrooms
Fox News
Texas sued the EEOC under President Joe Biden, claiming it violated federal law by issuing a June guidance mandating pro-transgender policies regarding bathrooms, dress codes and pronouns.
On June 15, 2021, EEOC Chairman Charlotte Burrows issued guidance setting forth what she claimed to be the commission's interpretation of employers' obligations under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The guidance prohibits employers from requiring transgender employees to dress in accordance with the employee's "sex assigned at birth"; allows employers to have sex-segregated bathrooms, locker rooms or showers but requires them to allow transgender people to use facilities that correspond to their gender identity; and suggests that employers who regularly use the "wrong" pronouns or names for employees may face harassment charges.
The lawsuit claims that Burrows and the EEOC twisted a Supreme Court decision to justify this guidance, and it alleges that the guidance violates federal law.
