Sex discrimination involves treating someone (an applicant or employee) unfavorably because of that person's sex, including the person's sexual orientation, gender identity, or pregnancy.

Discrimination against an individual because of gender identity, including transgender status, or because of sexual orientation is discrimination because of sex in violation of Title VII.  For more information about LGBTQ+-related sex discrimination claims, see https://www.eeoc.gov/sex-based-discrimination
