The implications of the Trump administration’s leaked plan to erase transgender people from federal law came into sharp focus last week, when the Justice Department told the U.S. Supreme Court that employers should be free to fire workers because they are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender.

The filing came in the case of Aimee Stephens. Stephens was fired from her position as a funeral director when she informed her employer that she is transgender and would be coming to work consistent with her female gender. Although she agreed to continue to follow the company’s conservative dress code as a woman, the company rejected the plan and put Stephens out of work. The owner of the business testified later that he was “just old-fashioned” and believed that “a male should look like … a man, and a woman should look like a woman.”
