Saks Changes its Mind ...

Saks Fifth Avenue has dropped its position that federal anti-discrimination law does not cover transgender workers in a Texas lawsuit involving a former associate, saying Monday that it will instead challenge the merits of the employee's specific discrimination claims.

Saks filed a notice in federal court that it will withdraw a pending motion to dismiss plaintiff Leyth Jamal's complaint.  Instead, they've chosen to focus on the merits of the case while underscoring that Saks does not discriminate against transgender individuals.
