Many different actions and behaviors can be considered discriminatory. This is a legal term which refers to injustices far beyond simple teasing and genuine misunderstandings.
Below are several possible examples of gender identity discrimination:
- An employee is fired shortly after announcing their plans to transition.
- Management will not allow an employee to use the restroom which conforms to their gender identity.
- Coworkers will only refer to a trans employee by their deadname.
- A trans employee is being threatened or intimidated by their supervisor.
- Insensitive jokes, slurs and sexual remarks are considered the norm in a workplace culture.
