- EEOC Halts Processing of Gender Identity Discrimination Claims — The acting chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), Andrea Lucas, has instructed the agency to halt the processing of claims related to gender identity discrimination. This decision, made shortly after her appointment in January 2025, has led to the classification of such complaints as the lowest priority, effectively putting them on indefinite hold. Additionally, the EEOC has dismissed six cases previously pursued against employers accused of gender identity discrimination and removed the "x" gender marker from intake forms. These actions have prompted a letter from 70 members of Congress demanding enforcement of civil rights protections for transgender and nonbinary individuals.
