The Tenth Circuit Court Appeals affirmed the dismissal of a transsexual employee's Title VII claim, choosing not to decide whether discrimination based on an employee's failure to conform to sex stereotypes always constitutes discrimination "because of sex" and whether such a claim may extend Title VII protections to transsexuals who act and appear as a member of the opposite sex.
