Furries and discrimination

The ENDA bill that just left the Senate aims to end discrimination in the workplace "..because of such individual's actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity." As defined in the law, gender identity:

"...means the gender-related identity, appearance or mannerisms or other gender-related characteristics of an individual, with or without regard tot he individual's designated sex at birth."

As you can see, the bill does not address furries. Employers still have a group to discriminate against. They aren't required to have sandboxes in the offices or designated poop sites in the green areas. In fact, the bill does not even require special facilities for the gender-related group. It does not address the bathroom issue. I'm sure that is an oversight and will be corrected by the House.
