From your link:
My bold

"The Justice Department’s evaluation that it considers the law a violation of the 1964 federal Civil Rights Act and its ban on discrimination based on sex came in a letter from Vanita Gupta, the head of the Civil Rights Division. The letter was previously reported by the Charlotte Observer but confirmed to The Washington Post."

Explain how the DOJ has any argument here. There is no provision in the federal law for gender identity. I think the courts would slap the shit out of any federal agency that tries to pull any shit.
