Sam Schwartz-Fenwick was quoted in a July 25 story “Courts move towards transgender rights, but much depends on election” by Business Insurance on how the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Obama Administration may prevail in their position that federal civil rights law protects transgender and gay individuals from discrimination, but much depends on the outcome of the November elections. Schwartz-Fenwick said that you're only going to get clarity if Congress expressly passes a law that expressly extends protection on the basis of gender identity and gender expression, or if the Supreme Court rules on the subject.
