You are confused. Most recent court decisions have gone against us. And those include some cases relying on the Price-Waterhouse precedent. The courts are now saying that people born transsexual are NOT covered by laws that cover cisgender folks. In essence they are saying we have no civil rights. That is why it is so important to get included in hate crimes legislation (Bush vetoed) and in ENDA (we were removed). I have a return question for you. Can you show me these "large settlements"? I doubt you can produuce any thing from the last decade.

I agree with the above post. Also: -City of Salem was a 6th Circuit case, so it is far from a national precedent. -Title VII is Civil Rights law, not "labor" law, although it can apply when civil rights are violated in the context of working. -I am still unclear on what your question is.
