The question is whether he was fired for a religious practice/belief and if what he did falls into that bucket and whether animus relating to that led to the termination.

If yes, then probationary period is irrelevant.

Harry argues that they'll just classify it as something else, which is what everyone who fires anyone for an unlawful reason does. But if it's on the heels of the misgendering saga then for good reason the alternative explanation will be seen as mere pretext.

I think the bigger question is whether he can fit the scenario into a protected class situation. Him being a pastor certainly helps in that regard.

Help me with this - if your boss tells you to stop doing something, and you ignore their orders and continue doing that thing, what is that called?

In this case it's called being fired for doing nothing other than misgendering, something you said doesn't happen

Close! It's called insubordination and generally doesn't result in being employed long

And kudos to a guy standing up for his beliefs.
This is admirable.

But in a world away from biblical principles is reality.

In this case they work together.

Supporting this guy is Dr. and science. Some Dr. easily observed sexual parts at birth. As far as I know they have 100% correct lately. It's on a birth certificate.

Dr. observation is backed up by science. Specifically the XX and XY chromosomes. This would back up any birth certificate.

Unmodified birth certificate assignment should be end all to this.

So you have to do anything your boss tells you to no matter what or it's insubordination? That's certainly a take.

Talk about living in a fantasy land, what supervisor is stupid enough to say stop praying at work?

I'd imagine plenty if you're doing it on company time. Or do you also think someone could just pray 8 hours a day every day and remain employed?

Unless your employer is the government and the “insubordination” involves an infringement of your constitutional right.

Freaking authoritarians.

Y'all really do love making up complete fantasy scenarios

No one is praying for 8 hours a day

And yes, if they're spending the entire shift praying instead of working, they can be fired, for not doing any of their work good lord

Sigh

Insubordination is not an excuse for an unlawful termination. Insubordination as pretext for unlawful discrimination will not help here.

But what boss would say they can't? That was the argument you just made. See how dumb you are?
