Is Gender Identity A Protected Class?

Yes. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination based on gender identity in employment. Texas state employment law also recognizes gender identity as a protected characteristic, providing similar protections against discrimination in the workplace.

Forms Of Gender And Gender Identity Discrimination

Gender and gender identity discrimination can manifest in various ways within the workplace. This includes:

  • Refusal to hire or promote based on gender identity
  • Creating a hostile work environment through derogatory remarks or exclusionary behavior
  • Paying lower wages or benefits to those of a certain gender or identity
  • Denying opportunities for professional development or advancement

These discriminatory practices undermine workplace equality and can have profound impacts on individuals’ careers and well-being.

What Evidence Is Required To Prove Gender Or Gender Identity Discrimination On The Job?

To establish a claim of gender-related occupational discrimination, specific evidence is crucial. Examples of sound evidence include:

  • Proof of statements or actions showing discriminatory intent
  • Data indicating disparities based on gender identity
  • Statements from witnesses who observed discriminatory behavior
  • Analyzing employer treatment of individuals of different genders and gender identities
  • Evidence of complaints or reports made through official channels documenting other discriminatory practices or policies

As your lawyer, I will relentlessly pursue justice and equality on your behalf and help you build a strong case.
