US EditionA judge resisted Trump’s order on gender identity. The EEOC just fired her
- Administrative Judge Karen Ortiz was dismissed last Tuesday following her opposition to the EEOC's adherence to a presidential directive that defined sex as fixed and unchangeable.
- Ortiz opposed President Trump's executive order, which halted cases for transgender workers and signaled a shift from the agency's previous civil rights stance.
- During her recent Senate confirmation hearing, EEOC Acting Chair Andrea Lucas justified the agency's decision to cease legal actions supporting transgender employees, emphasizing that the commission must adhere to directives from the President.
- Ortiz criticized the agency publicly, emailing that Lucas was "not fit to be our chair," and called the presidential order "unethical," while Chief Judge Stephens labeled Ortiz's actions "distasteful and unprofessional."
- Ortiz said the agency has "lost their way" and vowed to keep fighting for LGBTQ rights despite losing her job, health insurance, and judgeship prestige.
