The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission recently settled a transgender-harassment lawsuit, extracting $25,000 from an upstate New York pizzeria accused of forcing an employee to quit to escape endless harassment.

While that suit against T.C. Wheelers Bar & Pizzeria was the first trans-discrimination case the agency had filed since 2017, employment attorneys expect many more as the EEOC files more lawsuits overall, follows through on its new Strategic Enforcement Plan's focus on protecting vulnerable workers, and as the number of Americans identifying themselves as trans swells.
