In keeping with his “pen and a phone” theory of unilateral executive power, President Obama has announced that he intends to issue an executive order concerning federal protection of those who ascribe to a different “gender identity” than that assigned at birth.
The executive order will ban any discrimination by federal contractors on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.
The move is likely a nod to the homosexual and transgender communities during “LGBT pride month.”
In 2012, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ruled that federal bans on discrimination also protected transgendered people.
In April, Sarah Vestal, a man who identifies as a woman who works for the Treasury Department, told the Huffington Post, “It would help eliminate the structural discrimination. Transgender people in the federal government are pulling their hair out.”
The president has made broad use of his claimed power to issue executive orders on a wide range of issues. On Monday, the president also announced he would act unilaterally on immigration reform issues without the consent of Congress.
