against transgenders at state level.

In fact, the Civil Rights Act specifically makes it illegal.

"Federal laws against sex and disability discrimination make it illegal to fire, refuse to hire, harass, or otherwise discriminate against you because of your gender identity, gender transition, sex assigned at birth, or transgender status. This was definitively clarified by the Supreme Court case Bostock v. . . . . ."

I don't think we had discriminitory LAWS at Federal level, although we damn sure had a bunch of crappy people who love bashing minority groups.
