In President Joe Biden’s America, if you disagree with transgender orthodoxy, you might not be able to run a business.

Federal law prohibits harassment on the basis of sex in the workplace, and under Biden, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) aims to weaponize that law against employers who believe that biological sex can’t be altered by mere identification.

The EEOC published its proposed rule for workplace harassment Monday.

he proposed rule cites the Supreme Court’s decision in Bostock v. Clayton County (2020), stating that “sex-based discrimination includes discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.”

“Accordingly, sex-based harassment includes harassment on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, including how that identity is expressed,” EEOC claims:

“Examples include epithets regarding sexual orientation or gender identity; physical assault; harassment because an individual does not present in a manner that would stereotypically be associated with that person’s gender; intentional and repeated use of a name or pronoun inconsistent with the individual’s gender identity (misgendering); or the denial of access to a bathroom or other sex-segregated facility consistent with the individual’s gender identity.” (Emphasis added)

To underline the point, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission provides an example of how this works in practice.

“Jennifer, a cashier at a fast food restaurant who identifies as female, alleges that supervisors, coworkers, and customers regularly and intentionally misgender her,” the EEOC narrates. “One of her supervisors, Allison, frequently uses Jennifer’s prior male name, male pronouns, and ‘dude’ when referring to Jennifer, despite Jennifer’s request for Allison to use her correct name and pronouns; other managers also intentionally refer to Jennifer as ‘he.’”
