Trying another angle, the defendants before us suggest that an employer who discriminates based on homosexuality or transgender status doesn't intentionally discriminate based on sex, as a disparate treatment claim requires. See post , at 1758 - 1760 (ALITO, J., dissenting); post , at 1828 - 1829 (KAVANAUGH, J., dissenting). But, as we've seen, an employer who discriminates against homosexual or transgender employees necessarily and intentionally applies sex-based rules. An employer that announces it will not employ anyone who is homosexual, for example, intends to penalize male employees for being attracted to men and female employees for being attracted to women.
