Trump Administration Asks Supreme Court To Legalize Firing Transgender Workers

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to set a legal precedent that would make it OK for an employer to fire a person for being transgender.

In a brief filed Friday, the Justice Department argued that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 only protects workers from discrimination based on their “biological sex.”

“Title VII does not prohibit discrimination against transgender persons based on their transgender status,” the Justice Department wrote. “It simply does not speak to discrimination because of an individual’s gender identity or a disconnect between an individual’s gender identity and the individual’s sex.”

The Supreme Court agreed earlier this year to hear three cases that look at whether Title VII, the federal civil rights law that prohibits workplace discrimination, applies to LGBTQ workers.

3. Everyday I think I couldn't possibly hate this ratf***er ANY MORE ...

And almost everyday he manages to pull some shit that makes me despise and loathe him EVEN MORE

It's kinda uncanny, really ...

I mean, I don't think it's even illegal now to fire someone for being transgender in a lot of states (mostly the ones where his cultists live I'd bet), but Trump wants to MAKE SURE it's legal, per the Supreme Court.

Such a shitheel.

6. We've never had such a wantonly malicious administration

Even Dubya wasn't like this. These fuckers are like a troll stomping on small animals. They're not even doing it for cynical political reasons. They're just doing it because they like hurting people.
