Fifth Circuit Backs America First Legal: Overturns Federal Transgender Mandates Compelling Employers to Allow Men to Use the Women’s Facilities
In a landmark legal victory, America First Legal (AFL) won a critical Fifth Circuit ruling against federal transgender mandates issued by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
The EEOC had instituted a federal mandate compelling employers, including religious organizations, to permit employees to use restrooms that correspond to their gender identity, regardless of their biological sex or whether they have undergone sex-change surgery. This mandate, AFL’s client argued, violated their rights.
The Fifth Circuit ruled in favor of AFL’s clients.
