Gender Identity Harassment Claims

New Mexico has long been at the forefront of protecting the rights of its residents from discrimination based on gender identity, enacting an amendment to the state’s Human Rights Act in 2003 prohibiting employers from treating workers differently because of chosen gender identity.

Our Representation in Cases Involving Allegations of Gender Identity Discrimination

The New Mexico Human Rights law defines gender identity to include self-perception or third-party perception of your identity as male or female based on your appearance, behavior or physical characteristics, whether that is in accord with your physical anatomy, chromosomal sex or gender at birth.

When you hire us to protect your rights after gender-identity discrimination at work, we’ll conduct a thorough investigation of your case, carefully evaluating the facts to determine whether there has been a violation of state or federal law. We’ll help you pursue compensation for all your losses, including wages, income or benefits lost. We handle claims involving actual termination or constructive discharge, where the conditions to which you were subjected were such that you voluntarily quit rather than face wrongful discrimination. We can also help you seek reinstatement to your job, if desirable.

We’ll carefully gather, evaluate and preserve all evidence to support your claim, and will prepare and file all documents necessary to resolve your claims. Attorney Buchanan has extensive experience working with EEOC officials in a number of states and understands the process for filing a workplace discrimination claim.
