Question: In 2019, a funeral director and transgender woman, aimee stephens, filed suit against an employer for discrimination during her transitioning from being a man to being a woman. the supreme court determined that the acts of the employer were unacceptable and constituted invidious sex discrimination. upon which of the following did the supreme court justices rely when making the determination?

The Supreme Court justices relied on Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 when making the determination that the employer's acts were unacceptable and constituted invidious sex discrimination in the case of Aimee Stephens.

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, and sex. In the case of Aimee Stephens, the Supreme Court held that discrimination based on gender identity or transgender status is a form of sex discrimination, and therefore prohibited under Title VII.

The Court reasoned that discrimination against an individual because of their transgender status is inherently based on sex, as it involves treating the individual differently based on their sex as assigned at birth. The Court also noted that it was irrelevant whether the employer's actions were motivated by religious or moral beliefs, as Title VII prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex regardless of the employer's motivations or beliefs.
