EEOC helping the BO campaign with LGBT bloc

in short EEOC has ruled that transgender = sex. one problem that I see, it appears to be writing law which it cannot do. here's the definition from the law itself...

(k) The terms “because of sex” or “on the basis of sex” include, but are not limited to, because of or on the basis of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions; and women affected by pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions shall be treated the same for all employment-related purposes, including receipt of benefits under fringe benefit programs, as other persons not so affected but similar in their ability or inability to work, and nothing in section 2000e-2(h) of this title [section 703(h)] shall be interpreted to permit otherwise. This subsection shall not require an employer to pay for health insurance benefits for abortion, except where the life of the mother would be endangered if the fetus were carried to term, or except where medical complications have arisen from an abortion: Provided, That nothing herein shall preclude an employer from providing abortion benefits or otherwise affect bargaining agreements in regard to abortion.

Obama does not follow laws or the constitution.

The way I see it it is pretty clear that there are only two genders - male and female. Always has been and still is the case.

Gender identity is not at all the same as gender. Being a man who wrongly thinks himself to be a woman and then being disciminated against would not be an example of gender discrimination.

That being said being called a man but knowing one to actually be a woman due to scientific evidence and then being discriminated against would be a case of discrimination based on a medical condition which very well might be a violation of the americans with disabilities act.
