ABSTRACT:

This short essay demonstrates that the Supreme Court’s majority opinion in Bostock v. Clayton County is fatally flawed in a way that will force the Court to reject its reasoning in future cases, whether the Justices admit it or not. This demonstration supplements the arguments in the dissenting opinions of Justices Alito and Kavanaugh.
