Chapter $7$ at Section $7-1$e deals with the subject of whether transgender discrimination is forbidden by Title VII and says that the issue has not yet been settled. Chapter $2$ at Section $2-1$ says that "there is no federal law that specifically outlaws workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in the private sector. You should be aware the text is inaccurate as to both of these assertions. This edition of the text was published before the Supreme Court of the United States decided the Bostock v$.$ Clayton County case on June $15,2020.$ In that case the Court held that the term "sex" in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of $1964$ includes sexual orientation and transgender status and that employment discrimination on either basis is forbidden.

I did not want to ask a question to which the text did not supply the correct answer, so I am telling you what you need to know. I figured you would be more likely to notice it here in the test than if I provided the information in an extra reading material document. Choose letter a below for a free $2$ points.
