Additionally, misgendering speech is not protected under U.S. Under Title IX of the Civil Rights Act, discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexuality constitutes harassment in education settings that receive federal aid and includes protections for students of linguistics, as well as faculty and staff. Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of the United States, as upheld by the Supreme Court, discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexuality constitutes harassment, and is illegal when it creates a hostile or offensive work environment (see the EEOC on sex-based discrimination). This document corresponds with the LSA's statement against linguistic misgendering and provides a brief guide to practical ways to make written and verbal communication in linguistics (with colleagues and students) more gender-inclusive and identity-affirming. Approved by the LSA Executive Committee, May 2021.
