Gender identity discrimination is illegal under Title VII, the federal employment nondiscrimination statute. With the assistance of Transgender Law Center staff attorneys Matt Wood and Sasha Buchert, Shea was able to successfully resolve her case in an EEOC mediation and has begun working in a correctional institution. "I am grateful to Transgender Law Center for its support for me and all transgender people. I shouldn't be denied a job just because of who I am," she said.
