Rebecca Walsh: Sexual bias laws dont protect all

SLTrib.com – Rebecca Walsh

I don’t know about the rest of you girls, but I’m more uncomfortable with the idea of peeing next to a man who believes he’s a man than peeing next to a man who believes he’s a woman.

That’s just me. Utah Transit Authority and the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals didn’t ask my opinion.

Last week, the Denver court rejected Krystal Etsitty’s lawsuit against UTA, concluding – mind-bogglingly -that Americans with complicated gender identity and biology cannot be harassed, undermined or bullied at work.

The idea that a transsexual-in-progress can’t be a victim of sexual discrimination is bogus. If there’s a group more vulnerable than women in the workplace, it’s women who used to be men and men who used to be women.
