Transgender Bias Suit Against Library of Congress Could Change Federal Policy

Law.com – Marcia Coyle – The National Law Journal

A transgender job bias suit against the Library of Congress moves to trial Tuesday in federal court in Washington, D.C., with potentially major implications for federal anti-discrimination policy.

U.S. District Judge James Robertson will preside over the bench trial in Schroer v. Billington, No. 05-1090, in which retired, decorated Army Colonel Diane Schroer contends that the library violated the federal law’s ban on sex discrimination in employment practices.
