Gender Discrimination in the Workplace

Gender discrimination has remained a constant source of conflict in workplaces throughout the last few decades. Although women have been the primary victims of gender discrimination in years past, society has accepted gender fluidity, which has caused discriminatory behavior to shift in focus from women to employees of all genders.

Regardless of what gender you identify with, you don’t deserve to experience mistreatment at work. Your employer should judge you based on your work performance alone. If they don’t, then you can hold them accountable by filing a gender discrimination claim.

A gender discrimination lawyer from Snider & Associates, LLC can look into your situation and use evidence from your case to seek justice on your behalf.

Who Can Suffer from Gender Discrimination?

One of the biggest fights in politics today is redefining the meaning of gender discrimination. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 outlaws discrimination at work based on race, color, age, religion, and national origin. But, it doesn’t define what gender means.

Some people in society argue that gender only means discrimination toward men and women; others argue that gender means any form of gender expression. Although the battle to redefine the law continues, many states have already amended their laws to be more inclusive. For example, Maryland state law outlaws discrimination based on gender, gender identity, and gender expression. 

How to File a Gender Discrimination Claim

Regardless of your gender, you should speak up if you’re experiencing discrimination at work. Even if federal law doesn’t clarify what genders it protects, you have rights as an employee and you can set a precedent for many cases to come. You can file your claim with Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and use evidence to support your case.
