Gender identity is defined as a personal conception of oneself as male, female, both, or neither. In 2014, President Obama signed an executive order barring discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity among federal contractors. The order covered employers who perform federal work and protected an estimated 20 percent of American workers. Opponents included religious groups, who argued that the order would prevent them from receiving federal money or contracts if they could not meet the new guidelines because of their beliefs. Proponents argue that the order was nece…

Yes, but it should only apply to cases where biological sex does not have an impact.
@93RQL4H2yrs2Y
There shouldn't be "discrimination" of any persons.
@92XHX9V2yrs2Y
people need to stop being so offended by things
@92WX6NZ2yrs2Y
No, and neither should sexual orientation. We should address homosexuality and gender dysphoria as mental health issues and provide funds for more research and successful cures.
@92NFFHB2yrs2Y
yes, because gender identity isn't the same as assigned sex at birth.
@7P5T8432yrs2Y
Yes, but there is only two genders
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, but also address gender identity as a mental health issue and provide funds for more research and care
@6LV5ZML2yrs2Y
Yes, but we should create additional gender categories outside of "male" and "female" to help clearly define what truly qualifies as gender discrimination--this would create more fairness for ALL genders.
@9242PSZ2yrs2Y
I think that there are only 2 genders but I believe that everyone has the opportunity to choose what they feel is right so we should not but there should be awareness addressed.
@8ZH59GG2yrs2Y
No, there are only two genders which are genetically not psychologically determined and we should address gender identity as a mental health issue because acting like you can change your gender can mess people up for life.
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
No, there are only two genders which are genetically determined, but we should address gender identity as a mental health issue and provide funds for more research and care
@heatherdvdprincess2yrs2Y
Yes, except in jobs where gender identity matters. For example, a gay man shouldn't see boys naked in non-medical environments. And if the behavior they choose, rather than simply the orientation they don't get to choose, interferes with their ability to perform all aspects of their job fully, then they can be discriminated against. For example, an openly and clearly gay man working as a server af a restraunt may make customers feel uncomfortable. In this case it is their behavior, not directly their orientation, that can be discriminated against. I think I should be discriminated against for my religion if I choose to say that my religion means I can proselyte freely to unwilling customers.
@8ZM5ZPZ2yrs2Y
yes to an extent saying you identify as a tree or unicorn no
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, but transgender individuals should avoid occupations that primarily interact with infants or younger children on a daily basis, since it may create mental anguish and anxiety among them over the concept of gender identity
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, but transgender individuals should avoid occupations that largely interact with infants and young children on a daily basis since they are too young to mentally grasp the concept of gender identity
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, but transgender individuals should avoid employment in occupations such as child care worker or grade school teacher to help prevent mental confusion among infants and young children while daily interacting with them
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, but transgender individuals should avoid employment in occupations such as child care worker or grade school teacher to help prevent mental confusion among infants and young children while daily interacting

Yes, but transgender individuals should avoid employment in occupations such as child care worker or grade school teacher to help prevent mental confusion among infants and young children during daily occupational interactions
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, but transgender individuals should be prevented from working with children at a grade school or preschool level, and we should also address gender identity as a mental health issue and provide funds for more research and care
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, but these individuals should be prevented from working with children at a grade school or preschool level, and we should also address gender identity as a mental health issue and provide funds for more research and care
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, but gender identity should also be addressed as a mental health issue, with funds provided for more research and care.
@8YT7CV42yrs2Y
depends on what you identify as
@8YT7D2T2yrs2Y
it depends on what you are identifying as.
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, but also address gender identity as a mental health issue with more funds needed for research and care
@4ST2ZSS2yrs2Y
Slight No, because it could easily be manipulated.
@8Y9MVQN2yrs2Y
While no one should be discriminated, there are two genders only (unless identifying as transgender)
@8Y979K52yrs2Y
i dont really care if it is added or not, it does not affect me

Yes, but protections and preferential treatment should be given within reason, and allow private companies and businesses to enforce any rules within their place of work, regardless of how it might make someone feel.

Yes, but protections and preferential treatment should be given within reason, and allow private companies and businesses have to have the right to enforce any rules or regulations within their place of work, regardless of how it might make someone feel.

@8XSXMM62yrs2Y
Yes, and people should be educated on why gender identity exists and why people choose to identify a particular way.
@8S3RYR92yrs2Y
No, we already have anti-discrimination laws based on sex.
@8XQ8BHQ2yrs2Y
No, but they need to talk with there employees about discrimination
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, you can be whatever you want, there just needs to be boundaries on certain things that individual does.
@8XFL7YZ2yrs2Y
No, if we separate different identities then we lower other identities. If we allow this to happen more and more people will want to keep adding on different identities. It has happened in the past, and it will happen again. Just have the same identity if you require something as needed you can have it, if it is a necessity.
@8XBLKCZ3yrs3Y
No, because anyone can claim it. Parameters need to be established.
@8WC3QKP3yrs3Y
I believe there are only two genders. But I think that gender identity should be added to the anti-discrimination laws because my beliefs should not affect whether people are being included or not.
@8W9BYRC3yrs3Y
No, although I quite frankly couldn't care less how many genders there are or think there are. It really shouldn't be something that's mentally/psychologically decided.
Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, though private companies and businesses should have the right to enforce any rules or regulations within their place of work, regardless of how it might make someone feel. No matter our personal thoughts about transgender persons, we should still treat the individual with respect, and they should be protected by law, as an individual, having the same inherent rights as all other individuals.

If the rules and regulations of the workplace do not make one feel comfortable, they can choose to not do business there.

@8VMYBSV3yrs3Y
Yes, but allow those with strict religious views to be exempt if there are financial burdens
@8VKGG3L3yrs3Y
Yes, but only for sexual and gender discrimination.
@8V358MG3yrs3Y
no anti discrimination laws shouldn't exist I thought we have freedom of speech and can dislike whoever we want
@EdmundSnow983yrs3Y
Yes, while exempting religious organizations on the grounds of religious freedom.
@8TVYZQL3yrs3Y
Yes, but measures should be added to make sure no one is taken advantage of because of the act.
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
No, this should fall under general anti-discrimination laws for private companies and not require a separate categorization
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
No, apply gender identity to the general anti-discrimination rules of the company but do not characterize it as a separate classification
@63ZXW6N3yrs3Y
No, I support all genders, but people may abuse it.
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
No, this should fall under the general anti-discrimination laws for private companies and does not need a separate categorization
@8TF44GJ3yrs3Y
Yes, and many other minority groups should be added as well
