LGBTQ Nation: Equal Employment Opportunity Commission drops cases of anti-trans harassment

February 18. 2025

Executive Director Noreen Farrell is quoted in an LGBTQ Nation article about the EEOC’s decision under Trump to drop cases previously filed by trans and nonbinary workers.

“The Supreme Court’s landmark Bostock v. Clayton County decision unequivocally established that discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity is discrimination based on sex under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,” said Noreen Farrell, Executive Director of Equal Rights Advocates. “This isn’t a matter of policy preference or political ideology, it’s settled law that the EEOC has a legal duty to enforce.”
