"Sex Discrimination. The Biden Administration, LGBT advocates, and some federal courts have attempted to expand the scope and definition of sex discrimination, based in part on the Supreme Courtās decision in Bostock v. Clayton County. Bostock held that āan employer who fires someone simply for being homosexual or transgenderā violates Title VIIās prohibition against sex discrimination. The Court explicitly limited its holding to the hiring/firing context in Title VII and did not purport to address other Title VII issues, such as bathrooms, locker rooms, and dress codes, or other laws prohibiting sex discrimination. Notably, the Court focused on the status of the employees and used the term ātransgender statusā rather than the broader and amorphous term āgender identity.ā * Restrict the application of Bostock. The new Administration should restrict Bostockās application of sex discrimination protections to sexual orientation and transgender status in the context of hiring and firing. *Withdraw unlawful ānoticesā and āguidances.ā The President should direct agencies to withdraw unlawful ānoticesā and āguidancesā purporting to apply Bostockās reasoning broadly outside hiring and firing. *Rescind regulations prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, transgender status, and sex characteristics. The President should direct agencies to rescind regulations interpreting sex discrimination provisions as prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, transgender status, sex characteristics, etc. *Direct agencies to refocus enforcement of sex discrimination laws. The President should direct agencies to focus their enforcement of sex discrimination laws on the biological binary meaning of āsex.ā"
