Fox News: Trump administration refines EEOC approach to transgender workplace discrimination claims
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) will now allow some complaints from transgender workers to proceed, reversing earlier guidance that halted such cases. Complaints involving hiring, discharge, or promotion will be processed but will face increased scrutiny and require approval from the acting chair.
Despite this change, the EEOC has dropped several lawsuits against transgender discrimination under the current administration, which emphasizes a binary view of sex. Critics argue that while the new policy allows some claims to proceed, it does not adequately address ongoing issues within the agency.
