Justice Department Will Now Back Claims Of Anti-Trans Discrimination Under Title VII

Speaking on behalf of the Department of Justice yesterday, outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder clarified the department's new official position on anti-trans discrimination being encompassed within Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Previously the department refused to recognize discrimination against transgender individuals as as a form of bias based upon sex, which Title VII forbids.
