The EEOC has listed sexual orientation and gender identity among legally protected characteristics, and last year, the agency said refusing to use a transgender employee’s preferred pronouns and preventing employees from using bathrooms that match their gender identity both constitute workplace harassment."</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/EEOC" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>EEOC</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/TransgenderDiscrimination" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TransgenderDiscrimination</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/TransgenderWorkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TransgenderWorkers</span></a><br /><a href="https://c.im/tags/Transgender" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Transgender</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/AcceptanceMatters" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AcceptanceMatters</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Transrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Transrights</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/LGBT" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LGBT</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/LGBTQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LGBTQ</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/LGBTQIAPlus" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LGBTQIAPlus</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Employment" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Employment</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/HumanResources" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HumanResources</span></a> <br /><a href="https://c.im/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>USPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ThePoliticsOfHate" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ThePoliticsOfHate</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/conormurray/2025/02/15/equal-employment-opportunity-commission-files-to-drop-transgender-discrimination-cases-following-trump-executive-order/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">forbes.com/sites/conormurray/2</span><span class="invisible">025/02/15/equal-employment-opportunity-commission-files-to-drop-transgender-discrimination-cases-following-trump-executive-order/</span></a></p>
