'This will be the first time the Supreme Court is hearing any case about transgender civil rights.'
show this morning, Cox urged people to show their support for the LGBTQ community in the midst of the Court's reevaluation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Not only that, but the Court will also be using the opportunity to decided whether the Title — which prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, or sex — will include sexual orientation and gender identity. As the deputy director for transgender justice at the ACLU's LGBT & HIV Project, Chase Strangio, also pointed out on the show, if the Court can potentially roll back on established protections if they decide to"carve LGBTQ people out of the law."
"They're really trying to say that we're not who we say were are," Cox added,"that we were always and only the gender we were assigned at birth and if the Supreme Court decides that, it has ramifications in all kinds of law."
