Federal workers are protected against gender identity discrimination
WDM Group PR Network, August 16, 2013

A 2012 Equal Employment Opportunity Commission decision declares unconditionally that employment discrimination based on gender identity is a violation of the federal prohibition against sex discrimination. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management defines "gender identity" as a person's "internal sense of being male or female" regardless of that person's biological gender.

The EEOC is the primary federal agency responsible for protecting against illegal employment discrimination that violates federal civil rights laws. The EEOC's interpretations of these laws are binding not only on federal government employers, but also on state and local government employers and most private employers.
