NELA Nite at Noon: “Enforcing Bostock as the Law of the Land: Viable Pathways for Prosecuting Discrimination based on Gender Identity”

In Bostock v. Clayton County, the Supreme Court held that the language of sex-based discrimination under Title VII encompasses employees based on their gender identity and sexual orientation. Yet in January, Trump issued the Executive Order, "Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government" commanding that it is official U.S. policy to recognize just two "immutable" sexes and reject identities outside that binary and the EEOC followed suit with its own public statement, by abandoning cases already filed in federal court and by directing staff to send for review all cases alleging discrimination based upon LGBTQIA+ status to Washington. Join Allegra Fishel, Founder and Executive Director of the Gender Equality Law Center; Effat Hussain, Senior Counsel for the Law Enforcement Bureau of the New York City Commission on Human Rights; Sandra Pullman, Senior Counsel for the Civil Rights Bureau of the New York State Attorney General’s Office; and Erin Sobkowski, Deputy General Counsel for the New York State Division of Human Rights, to learn how to navigate these changes, how state and city agencies are managing their dockets, and which effective strategies and avenues remain for successful enforcement of gender identity claims.
