Gender Identity Retaliation

Standing Up For Your Rights: Gender Identify Discrimination, Harassment & Retaliation

Your Identity Deserves Respect.

At Eric Siegel Law, PLLC, we believe that everyone – regardless of gender identity or expression – has the right to feel safe, valued, and respected in all aspects of their life, including at work. Unfortunately, not all workplaces uphold this standard. If you’ve experienced discrimination, harassment, or retaliation because of your gender identity or gender expression, we are here to stand beside you and advocate for your rights.

What We Do:

Our employment law team is deeply committed to protecting individuals facing mistreatment based on their gender identity or gender expression. We handle cases involving:

  • Workplace Discrimination (hiring, promotion, pay, or job termination based on gender identity)
  • Harassment (hostile work environments, repeated misgendering, inappropriate comments or conduct)
  • Retaliation (punishment or dismissal after speaking up or asserting your rights)
  • Failure to Accommodate (denial of access to restrooms, refusal to respect chosen name/pronouns, etc.)

A Safe, Affirming Space to Be Heard

We understand that coming forward can feel daunting – especially when your identity has been invalidated or targeted. This is especially true in these uncertain times where the LGBTQ+ community is the target for numerous legal attacks. Our team approaches every conversation with empathy, discretion, and zero judgment. We create a supportive environment catered to each of our clients, individually, where you can share your story openly and safely.

Know Your Rights

Federal law and many state laws prohibit discrimination based on gender identity or expression. If your employer has failed to uphold these protections, you may have legal grounds to seek accountability and compensation. We will help you understand your rights, your options, and what comes next.

Why Clients Trust Us:

  • Proven experience in employment discrimination law
  • Inclusive, LGBTQ+-affirming legal team
  • Compassionate counsel and fierce advocacy
  • Confidential consultations

Take the First Step – We’re Here for You

Your story matters. You don’t have to navigate this alone. Whether you’re ready to take legal action or just need a space to explore your options, we’re here to listen and help.
