Abstract Gender identity is an individual's personal sense of being male or female. Although it most often coincides with a person's biological sex, such is not always the case. There are individuals whose biological sex is male but who perceive themselves as female or whose biological sex is female but who perceive themselves as male. Gender identity is deeply connected with sexual minorities such as homosexual, bisexual, transgender or transsexual people. Sexual minorities face discrimination in many countries, and discrimination they face in employment calls for attention. There have been cases challenging gender identity employment discrimination in China although no Chinese laws, rules and regulations can match such cases. The US courts have processed gender identity based employment discrimination lawsuits since the 1970's and have accumulated experiences that can provide useful lessons to China for her efforts to develop relevant policy.
