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.

@B24D5LP5mos5MO
We should address gender identity as a mental health issue. AND, Discrimination should not be allowed in job searches, housing, education, etc. That doesn't mean your employer/insurance must cover you though.
@9R57NVL10mos10MO
No, I don't agree with the idea of gender identity, but discrimination generally should be disallowed
@8LPJLCDRepublican5yrs5Y
No, because people take non-discrimination and go the polar opposite where for some people they use it as an excuse and it can already get some people that identify as another gender or are gay or something else so that they can't be fired really even if they are a HORRIBLE worker or something. There is still freedom of speech and everything so they still have there own lives and can make their own choices, but it shouldn't affect anyone else just like mine shouldn't affect someone else. It goes both ways.
@9VR4JQ8Republican7mos7MO
yes but the definition of discrimination needs to be clarified, EX they should be protected from discrimination, someone should not be allowed to not give a job on the basis of their gender identity, however not using someone's pronouns should not be considered discrimination,
@9FV5BR82yrs2Y
i feel like if its the people who take extreme offense to everything, then no, they don't matter so much, but to people who are more reasonable and more understanding, then maybe
@92H7BDX3yrs3Y
This is a confusing topic and I personally do not have a preference or stance in it.
@8SVFSYGRepublican4yrs4Y
No, it's not discrimination if nobody knows one is oriented a certain way, so it shouldn't be called "discrimination".
@8QW7QJ74yrs4Y
No, it should not be a law but I do think people should try to respect another's choices on what they want to identity as
@8PDHH3VLibertarian4yrs4Y
i will need more information on this topic
@8PBCH924yrs4Y
There is only 2 genders and it is not discrimination
@8NRRDDP5yrs5Y
No, there are only two genders based on science and genetics. It is a mental illness if you think otherwise. You are either born a boy or born a girl. There is no in-between. It's that simple.
@8N47FYC5yrs5Y
all genders should be accepted
@8MRQM8X5yrs5Y
I support LGBTQ+ It should most definitely be anti-discriminated against.
@8MR5DB95yrs5Y
It doesn't matter to much
@8M84W4C5yrs5Y
No cause it shouldn't matter what people identify as.. they should be judged based upon their qualifications
@8LSQWNV5yrs5Y
Yes, while our sex is decided at birth people should not be forced to adhere to gender roles. While I understand that some people may be part of a religion that is against trans and other such people they should not try to force their religion on someone else.
@8HCPYTW5yrs5Y
Yes, but let religious organizations exercise their religious freedom.
@8DFVLC3Constitution5yrs5Y
No, people should just be treated as people, the government doesn't need to be involved
@9BPY5FZLibertarian2yrs2Y
Yes, There shouldn’t be any type of discrimination
No theres only two genders get it right
@9BGJNLKIndependent2yrs2Y
I believe all individuals are important but think that’s something you should learn in your home, not from the government.
@9B6K86K2yrs2Y
While "gender identity" is really quite ridiculous, it shouldn't be the reason someone is denied services or a job
@9B42RXF2yrs2Y
no one should be discriminated but it shouldnt be added to laws
@8LG6RFN5yrs5Y
Yes, even if I don't agree with people choices, they have the right to be anything
