Women can perform with equal competence and success in almost any effort pursued by males, including work, athletics, academics, and politics, as is obvious in today’s culture. Nevertheless, despite this progress, sexism has a long history in the United States, and its aftereffects continue to limit possibilities for women in the workplace and keep their earnings lower.
Sex/Gender Discrimination: Definition
Any workplace behavior, activity, or policy that prevents you from succeeding in your chosen field because someone or your workplace discriminates against you based on your sex/gender is considered sex/gender discrimination. Repeated behaviors that make a workplace unfriendly and make you feel unwelcome or in danger due to your gender also count. If you reported gender discrimination to a superior and nothing was done, it is unquestionably illegal.
Sex/Gender discrimination affects both men and women, but women are significantly more likely to become victims.
Gender discrimination can be based on your chosen gender identity or expression or the gender given to you at birth. Discrimination against someone based on their gender identity or expression is currently prohibited by California law. In other words, gender discrimination can affect both men and women who identify as either men or women.
Contrary to popular belief, transgendered (trans) people are more likely to experience prejudice than those who identify as the sex to which they were born. For instance, a trans woman may experience gender discrimination if the job is hostile to women. If the workplace is hostile to trans people, she can also suffer. We encourage you to speak with one of our gender discrimination lawyers if you have encountered this kind of prejudice on account of gender.
