50% : "In excoriating the majority of justices in Bostock for "legislating," instead of "interpreting," Justice Samuel Alito in a dissenting opinion predicted future challenges like those in the Martinsville case, writing:What the Court has done today -- interpreting discrimination because of 'sex' to encompass discrimination because of sexual orientation or gender identity -- is virtually certain to have far-reaching consequences.
49% : That Biden administration rule promises to upend decades of sex equality in education by allowing students in a federally funded school to use the bathroom that corresponds to their gender identity, rather than their biological sex.
49% : In an opinion by Justice Neil Gorsuch, the court in Bostock interpreted the word "sex" in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination, to include "gender identity.
