God created them man and woman. The federal government thought them otherwise.
The Washington Free Beacon reports:
The Department of Labor is seeking to remove the terms “he” and “she” from a regulation prohibiting discrimination in the workforce in an effort to “avoid the gender binary.”
The agency is also adding “sex stereotyping, transgender status, and gender identity” to the list of types of employment discrimination banned under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. If adopted, the regulation would cost job training centers millions of dollars to change their equal employment opportunity posters to include “gender identity.”
The agency issued a proposed rule Tuesday that updates the nondiscrimination provisions of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act signed by President Obama in 2014, which provides funding for job training.
The law forbids groups that receive program funding to discriminate on the basis of “race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, political affiliation or belief, and, for beneficiaries only, citizenship status.” The new rule, which will be open to public comment for 60 days, updates the list to include gender identity.
Here’s my new rule. Anyone who says the words “gender binary” in a serious or even semi-serious way should be laughed out of the room.
