Sofia is a homosexual. She works in the sales department of True Ace Motors, a Delaware$-$based firm. Her supervisor constantly tells her that she should dress more femininely, wear makeup, and adopt ladylike behavior. After several failed attempts to change Sofia's behavior, True Ace Motors terminates her. Sofia files a discrimination claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission $($EEOC$).$ In this scenario, Sofia's claim is:

not valid because she is an at$-$will employee, and she can be terminated without a reasonable cause.

not valid because the state laws in Delaware do not prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.

actionable because discrimination based on sexual orientation is prohibited under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of $1964.$

actionable because gender stereotyping results in gender discrimination, which is unlawful under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of $1964.$
