Women Outraged Over Regulations Replacing ‘Sex’ with ‘Gender Identity’ In Federal Civil Rights Laws
Women are furious about a wave of new regulations dropped by federal agencies that erase women by replacing “sex” in civil rights laws with “gender identity.” The latest of these is a new rule dropped by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) which forces women to share bathrooms and other women-only spaces with men at work, and compels workers and customers to use inaccurate pronouns.
The new EEOC rule states the following would be a violation of civil rights law, citing the 2020 Bostock decision — an outcome WoLF has warned about for years:
repeated and intentional use of a name or pronoun inconsistent with the individual’s known gender identity (misgendering); or the denial of access to a bathroom or other sex-segregated facility consistent with the individual’s gender identity.
The commission provides an example of illegal harassment, including ”he misgenders her by using, with emphasis, “he/him” pronouns, sometimes in front of Chloe’s coworkers. Based on these facts, Alton’s harassing conduct toward Chloe is based on her gender identity.”
WoLF submitted a comment to the EEOC last year against this part of the proposed rule, calling out the harm to free speech and women’s safety at work.
The EEOC rule follows a week of other disturbing regulation changes, including to Title IX and the FDA and Medicaid. These are changes that Joe Biden put into motion on his first day in office through an executive order — implementing the most controversial provisions of the Equality Act while bypassing the legislative process.
