What Laws Prohibit Discrimination Based on Gender Identity in Estell Manor

Estell Manor is governed by strong anti-discrimination laws at both the federal and state levels. The U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in June 2020 clarified that discrimination based on gender identity is considered illegal sex-based discrimination under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

In addition, New Jersey’s Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD) was amended in 2006 to explicitly prohibit discrimination based on gender identity, gender expression, or sex identity. These protections extend to all employers, regardless of size, and are more inclusive than Title VII, which applies only to larger employers.

Gender identity discrimination can be difficult to identify because it often manifests subtly. Examples include refusal to hire someone based on their gender identity, firing an employee who is transitioning, or denying promotions due to gender identity or expression. Harassment, including offensive comments or actions regarding gender identity, also constitutes discrimination and creates a hostile work environment.
