Transphobia continues to run amok in Trump administration

 
Headline:  New York Times, 3/27/2026

The decision opens with a line from Mr. Trump’s executive order setting two immutable genders as U.S. policy. Federal law “permits a federal agency employer to maintain single-sex bathrooms and similar intimate spaces,” the 2-to-1 majority wrote. “And it permits a federal agency employer to exclude employees, including trans-identifying employees, from opposite-sex facilities.” 
The commission’s sole Democratic member, Kalpana Kotagal, issued a pointed dissent, describing the decision as rushed and legally suspect.
