Federal court to SCOTUS: "We read your opinion, but we're going to pretend you didn't mean what you said."
That's essentially what just happened in Texas v. EEOC.
A federal judge struck down part of the EEOC's 2024 harassment guidance, ruling that Title VII does not protect transgender workers from being misgendered, denied access to bathrooms aligned with their gender identity, or required to dress according to their sex assigned at birth.
