[Alleged] #Christian Employers Can Now Discriminate Against #TransPeople
A settlement with the Christian Employers Alliance blocks the EEOC from ever investigating the group’s members for gender identity discrimination.
Bryce Covert
September 1 2026Excerpt: "The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the federal agency tasked with protecting workers from illegal discrimination, inked an unprecedented settlement with a conservative Christian employer association that could have long-term, wide-ranging consequences.
"The lawsuit that led to the settlement was in reaction to #EEOC guidance issued under the Biden administration and after a 2020 Supreme Court ruling that Title VII protects against gender identity discrimination.
In the settlement, reached on August 18, the EEOC pledged to not pursue any claims of gender identity-based discrimination against the #ChristianEmployersAlliance — and made the pledge in perpetuity."The EEOC provides free investigation into complaints of discrimination and, in some cases, will bring lawsuits on behalf of employees at no cost to the plaintiffs.
"Now, however, anyone who works for a company with membership in the Christian Employers Alliance who believes they suffered gender identity-based discrimination won’t be able to avail themselves of the EEOC’s process.
"The settlement also contains an unusual provision: It applies not just to the more than 20,000 employers that are already members in the Christian Employers Alliance, but also to any future members, so long as they are members at the time that any claimed discrimination occurred.
"That means that any employer that decides to sign up for Christian Employers Alliance membership will get the benefit of blanket protection from the EEOC against all claims of #GenderIdentity discrimination, such as harassing someone for being #nonbinary or firing them for coming out as #trans .
" 'I am not aware of any settlement that just creates in perpetuity a freedom from investigation, 'said Karla Gilbride, a former EEOC general counsel under President Joe Biden who is now at the American Civil Liberties Union. 'I’ve never seen an organization get a settlement that allows protection to future members in this way.'
"The settlement will stay in place even if #AndreaLucas, the current Republican chair of the EEOC, is replaced with a Democratic chair under a future Democratic president. (The Christian Employers Alliance declined to comment, and the EEOC did not respond to an inquiry.)"

Transitioning was not a widely known option when I was younger, especially for #transgender men. So, I had no choice but to force myself to accept I was female, although I embraced being a #tomboy. I don’t even recall how old I was when I first heard the term, but from my perspective it fit well enough, however imperfectly.

[Petition] Black & #Transgender Lives Lost to Medical Neglect: Demand Justice in MA Hospitals!
The Issue
"My name is And Steiner. I am a Queer, gender-diverse patient that has been hospitalized in Massachusetts' (MA) Department of Mental Health (#DMH) hospitals for four years because of severe suicidality with suicide attempts.
"During that time, I have endured three attempts by DMH to suddenly discharge me from treatment without appropriate support, a practice known as '#PatientDumping'. This usually occurs when insurance has denied coverage or a patient has become a legal liability and often proves deadly, as you will see in this petition.
"While under DMH’s care, I have learned of at least two cases of serious medical neglect, and one suspected, which resulted in patient deaths. #HaywoodEarl was a Black man who died 'a painful and untimely death' from medical neglect at #LemuelShattuck Hospital, according to an investigation by #DisabilityLawCenter. Disability Law Center also investigated the death of #CaSonyaKing (pictured), a Black woman who they concluded 'died needlessly' from being 'patient dumped" from a #PsychiatricHospital. It is suspected that #JeanBusch, a transgender patient at Lemuel Shattuck, died similarly. All minorities. All died needlessly.
"When I learned of their deaths I was affected deeply. I reported Jean's death to DMH Authority, Attorney General Campbell and Governor Maura Healey in Jan 2023.
"Despite being under no criminal investigation, as punishment for reporting Jean's death, I was illegally and forcibly transferred to a dangerous forensic ward with no due process. There I experience 15 months of relentless physical #assaults, as well as verbal and sexual #harassment, often directly related to my sexual orientation and #GenderIdentity."

So, I briefly worked with Wayne Maines, #NicoleMaines' dad. I remember him telling me about his daughter, and how before Nicole's transition, #TransPeople weren't on his radar and was a bit taken aback. But being a good dad, he fully embraced her, and became one of her staunchest defenders. A class act!
Looking back on the Maine Supreme Court transgender bathroom case
by Jackie Mundry
May 28, 2025"In January 2014, the Maine Supreme Court ruled in favor of Nicole Maines. At the time, she was in the fifth grade in Orono and identified as #transgender.
"She and her family say the school administration, her classmates and their parents were all aware that Maines was trans, and because of that, she had no problem using the bathroom that aligned with her gender identity.
" 'When I would introduce themselves to myself, I would say, 'Hi, I'm Wyatt, I'm a boy who wants to be a girl. What's your name?' And they'd say, 'Hi, I'm Ryan, I like trucks.' And it was on the same level of mundanity,' Maines said, describing her time in school.
"One day, that changed, and she was not able to use the girls bathroom anymore after another male student followed her into that bathroom.
" 'I went into the bathroom with another girlfriend of mine, and he followed me, and he didn't say anything to me, and he just kind of, like, made prolonged eye contact with me as he went into the second stall, and he use the bathroom, and it was like I was glued to that spot,' Maines said.
" 'I redid fifth and sixth grade, being there to make sure that she was OK. She never had a normal childhood,' Maines' mom, Kelly Maines, said reflecting on how much time she spent in the school trying to protect Nicole.
" 'It got so bad that Kelly had to quit her job at the University of Maine, and we moved her and the kids to Portland, and they lived in hiding in America,' Maines' dad, Wayne Maines, added.
"Eventually, Kelly contacted the #MaineHumanRightsCommission, and a lawsuit was filed. While the precedent was set in Maine more than a decade ago, the Maines family is concerned about upcoming legislation.
" 'Freedom matters, and they're taking freedoms away,' Wayne said.
"The state Legislature's Judiciary Committee is considering several pieces of legislation that would not allow transgender students to play sports with students who align with their gender identity or use the bathrooms or changing rooms of their choice.
[...]
"There is also a proposal to remove #GenderIdentity as a protected class from the #MaineHumanRightsAct.
"Maines lives in California and is pursuing an acting career. Her message to #TransKids is clear.
" 'Do not give in to their hatred,' she said.
"All of the bills looking to change the transgender rules in Maine are still waiting to be voted out of the Judiciary Committee. Once that happens, they will get a full vote, and likely a debate, on the House and Senate floors."

I am the many-colored fire that lives within the wood becoming coal beneath a bonfire in the night. I am a tree discovering itself to be a tree, rooted but also interconnected. I am the horn of Helm Hammerhand sounding in the deep. I am the sweet heavy scent of summer air in a forest so dense the sun can’t be seen. I am a lost thing, a found thing, a rediscovered thing, an old thing. I am an eternity and I have no idea how long I’ve been here.

Conversion therapies are #pseudoscientificpractices, targeting the LGBTIQA+ into changing their #SexualOrientation, #GenderIdentity and #GenderExpression.
