If the NSA fires all it’s Transgender staffers, we’ll be lucky if the agency knows what Linux is by 2030
Well, there might still be some furries left
Furries are the one group i have seen that will violently clear out a nazi bar. Absolutely zero tolerance for it.
And in my town, they’ll pick a fight with parents of small children, but run away from teenagers with shitty attitudes. <Shrug> attitudes and confidence aren’t universal.
When the Nazis showed up here to ‘protest’, the Punk rock kids kicked the Nazis’ asses and one even went after a Nazi that was being arrested. The furries stayed home.
Banking appetizer, right?
Ain’t that the truth?
Lmao
Best of luck to her. She deserves her rights.
One of my favorite modern SCOTUS rulings (not that there are many I like these days) was written by Neil Gorsuch of all people in Bostock v. Clayton County. It basically ruled that discrimination by sexual orientation and gender identity is inseparable from discrimination by sex. Presumably, there are behaviors you’d expect and accept by straight, cisgender people. When those same behaviors are done by a gay/trans person, the only difference is their biological sex. If you don’t accept that behavior on that basis, it’s discrimination by sex, plain and simple.
That said, the laws on discrimination by sex does have some nuance to it. I may be a little off on some details here, but it’s not enough to say that men have to do one thing and women another, there needs to be (for example) a difference in tangible benefit like pay.
But I also can’t imagine there wouldn’t be some kind of harassment claim if a company were to misgender a cisgender person, and with the precedent set in that pretty recent ruling, it shouldn’t be too difficult of a claim to make… I hope.
I’m conflicted here.
That employee is a bad fucking person, who shouldn’t be discriminated against because they are trans, but they are working for a bad organization that does bad stuff.
I’m not sure I would care for the rights of an ICE agent?
I guess you should fight against the discrimination so it doesn’t hurt others but also they fucking work for the NSA.
I’d say rights come first. Especially if we can then turn around and slam ICE for infringing on said rights. “Defend to my death your right to say it” and all that.
