Asher Lucas's experience at Culver's highlights a troubling case of workplace discrimination against transgender individuals. After facing harassment from co-workers for his gender identity, Lucas reported the incidents to management but was instead fired, alongside others who supported him. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission initially supported Lucas by suing the restaurant for unlawful practices. However, in a surprising turn, the E.E.O.C. has recently decided to dismiss the case, citing concerns that it might violate President Trump's executive order limiting gender recognition to male and female.
Asher Lucas was fired after reporting bullying for being transgender, leading to a lawsuit by the E.E.O.C., but the agency recently moved to dismiss the case.
The E.E.O.C. argued that pursuing the case against Culver's could contradict an executive order under President Trump, emphasizing a binary gender classification.
