Understanding Gender Identity Discrimination in Norwood, NJ
Discrimination based on gender identity is illegal under both federal and state law. The U.S. Supreme Court’s 2020 ruling clarified that gender identity discrimination falls under the protections of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits sex-based discrimination. Additionally, the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD) was updated in 2006 to explicitly protect individuals from discrimination based on gender identity or expression. These laws apply to all employers in Norwood, regardless of size.
Gender identity discrimination may include:
- Refusal to hire someone because of their gender identity
- Firing an employee during their gender transition
- Denial of promotions or professional opportunities due to gender identity
- Harassment that creates a hostile work environment, including inappropriate comments or actions targeting an employee’s gender identity
