Summary
To clarify that sex discrimination under title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 does not include discrimination on the basis of gender identity.
Curator notes
This bill basically tries to say that the Bostock ruling was wrong re: gender identity - or that this bill would make it become wrong.
