Sex Discrimination Lawyers

Although you’re probably aware of the distinction between “gender” and “sex,” many people confuse or even combine the two, particularly as individuals around the world continue to question and broaden gender classification.

The difference between discrimination based on sex and gender is:

• Sex-based discrimination occurs when a person is designated “male” or “female” at birth.
• Gender discrimination is defined as a situation in which an individual’s gender identity is taken into account, whether it be male, female, or non-binary.

Individuals who don’t match their sex or gender may be referred to as “transgender” when their gender and sexual identities are inconsistent. People whose sex and gender expressions are the same are often termed “cisgender.”

When referring to the legal ramifications of this, it’s important to remember that both categories are considered together. It is a civil rights abuse to be targeted due on the basis of either.

Examples Of Gender And Sex Discrimination

You may experience sex or gender discrimination in a variety of ways. The bottom line is that you should never be treated differently or worse than your coworkers as a result of your sex or gender.

For instance, gender and sex discrimination in the workplace may take the following forms:

• Being asked gender-specific interview questions (such as whether you want to become pregnant)
• Not required to perform tasks that are different than those performed by coworkers of the same sex or gender in the same position (for example, asking only women to serve or only men to do the heavy lifting)
• Being dismissed for reporting sex or gender-related misconduct or abuse
• Being paid less than colleges of different gender in the same position
• Being passed over for promotions despite being more qualified than colleagues of a different sex/gender
• Employees of either gender are prevented from holding higher responsibilities or progressing beyond a certain point owing to their sex or gender.
• Experiencing sexual abuse or being targeted for such treatment based on your sex or gender identity
• Granting longer leave for mothers than for fathers
• People make fun of, insult, or threaten you because you do not comply with your perceived gender or sexual identity.

How To Fight Gender And Sex Discrimination In The Workplace

While females are often seen as the only victims of gender prejudice, anyone, regardless of sex or gender may be targeted. The same may be said for those who carry out such acts – both men and women, as well as people who do not identify within the gender binary, can be responsible for bullying. We also handle cases of sexual harassment in the workplace.
