Every employee deserves to be respected for who they are. Discrimination based on gender identity or transgender status is not only demeaning—it’s illegal. If you've experienced mistreatment at work because of your identity in Greenwich Township, Castronovo & McKinney, LLC is here to Protect Your Rights and advocate for your dignity in the workplace.

What Is Gender Identity Discrimination?

Gender identity discrimination occurs when an employee is treated unfairly due to their gender identity or expression, including being transgender, non-binary, or gender non-conforming. It also includes harassment, denial of appropriate accommodations, and retaliation for asserting your rights.

Examples of Gender Identity Discrimination

  • Refusing to use an employee’s correct name or pronouns
  • Denying access to restrooms that align with an employee’s gender identity
  • Making derogatory or offensive comments about gender expression
  • Failing to hire, promote, or fairly compensate based on gender identity
  • Retaliating against someone for transitioning or filing a complaint

Whether the mistreatment is explicit or subtle, it violates your rights and can have serious emotional and financial consequences.
