Connecticut District Court Recognized Transgender Discrimination, But . .

The Court's reasoning demonstrates the difficulty of obtaining redress from the
courts for transgender clients. Interestingly, the court specifically held that discrimination based on gender identity is sex stereotyping that violates both Title VII and Connecticut law. That is quite startling. However, the Court also found that the plaintiff Morales, an openly transgender woman, did not submit any evidence that her firing was based on her gender identity, as opposed to the company's contention that it fired her for absenteeism.
