Alito really hates Bostock.
What will Gorsuch, the dude who wrote the Bostock opinion, end up doing in this case.
That's the big question.

The justices to watch are Gorsuch, who has taken an enlightened view of "sex" discrimination in the past (Bostock). Kavanaugh, who agreed with Gorsuch in Bostock but reluctantly and indicated it would be the last time. And Alito, who will be a straight up dick and misgender people all morning.

Whatever the EEOC website says, the Supreme Court's Bostock ruling is still on the books
❕The EEOC has removed language from their website that states that sexual harassment includes harassment regarding sexual orientation, gender identity, or pregnancy.
This suggests that harassment for any of those reason are no longer considered sex discrimination within the workplace

The opinion argued, inter alia, that Bostock only prevents people from being fired for being trans, not from being outed or prevented from using bathrooms or facilities.
That reasoning would essentially gut Bostock if allowed to stand.

Alito now tries to pivot the argument to try and undo Bostock. He's functionally a Fox News troll in a robe

Despite Bostock, Trump has effectively legalized discrimination against trans people in employment. The courts are doing nothing to stop it either.

The EEOC is now free to continue ignoring all employment discrimination claims involving trans people after this dismissal. It's really a dark day that an administration can say they won't enforce anti-discrimination law for an entire class of people.

Under Bostock, at least while the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is still in force, that's probably not legal. But Calvinball caveats apply.

there's no reading of Bostock that would allow for this, and I still believe that the court isn't going to revisit Bostock for another few years

I really cannot stress enough how a decade ago private business rallied to prevent this from happening in North Carolina and now a well funded campaign against that situation means the federal government will now bar trans people from using bathrooms consistent with their identity.
