United States Fifth Circuit
Wittmer v. Phillips 66 Co., 18-20251
Held that the district judge erred in concluding that Title VII prohibits discrimination based on transgender status. While the judge had located no contrary circuit precedent on point, the Fifth Circuit suggested that a 1979 decision covers the matter. Ultimately, the panel affirmed summary judgment for the employer on other grounds.
