The legislation went nowhere. More than 40 years later, the Supreme Court ruled that the Civil Rights Act protects gay and transgender people from workplace discrimination.
Yes, transgender people are the new "out" group for the fascists. They always have to hate someone and it's ( mostly) no longer acceptable to hate gay people. Once transgender people gain greater acceptance the fascists will move on to another group to hate. Hatred is their lifeblood.
So with the DUI SecDef following the coward-in-chief's excising of trans service members on behalf of the Crusades & Inquisitions loving Project 2025ers, where does the legal pushback stand? David Mixner, btw, may not have benefitted like Bayard Rustin & Billy Strayhorn who guardians who valued their extraordinary talents.
Breaks my heart to read that Mixner hated himself and didn't believe he deserved equality.
Isn't that what conservatives (and some cowardly Democrats) are trying to do to transgender youth - making them feel they don't deserve equality?

So sad. Civil rights belong to all of us. No need to dehumanize anyone.
Be the best you can be, whatever your orientation.
