sex discrimination
I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with this. In Missouri, discrimination based on sex is illegal under both state (Missouri Human Rights Act) and federal law (Title VII). Could you please provide more details about the situation? This will help me give you more specific advice.
they let a male who calls himself a woman into the bathroom where he was watching and staring at the nude women. they said he is allowed because he calls himself a woman. this is discrimination to females to now allow single sex spaces
I understand your concerns, May. Here are key points regarding this issue in Missouri:

- The law doesn't explicitly address the issue of transgender individuals and restrooms.
- Unwanted staring could be considered harassment.
Legal advice would depend on the specific circumstances. It's recommended to consult with a local attorney.
it is discrimination to not provide single sex spaces, correct?
The law varies by location and context. In Missouri:
- No specific law requires provision of single-sex spaces.
- Businesses are often allowed to set their own policies regarding restrooms.
- Denying access based on transgender status **** be seen as sex discrimination under some interpretations.
Each situation is unique, so it's recommended to consult a local attorney.

In Missouri:
- The law does not explicitly state that males are entitled to female spaces or vice versa.
- No law mandates businesses provide single-sex spaces.
- The interpretation varies, and it's best to seek advice from a local attorney for specifics.
