On January 22, 2026, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) voted 2–1 to rescind anti-harassment guidance issued in 2024 under the Biden administration, which included guidance related to issues of gender identity discrimination and harassment against LGBTQ+ individuals. With a quorum and Republican majority at the EEOC, the rescission follows through on the policy priorities of the Trump administration and EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas, including the shift in federal policy to a binary interpretation of “sex.”
