the ministerial exception? Provisions of Title VII provide
exemptions for certain religious organizations and schools
“with respect to the employment of individuals of a partic-
ular religion to perform work connected with the carrying
on” of the “activities” of the organization or school, 42

tense battleground under the Court’s holding. Transgender
employees have brought suit under Title VII to challenge
employer-provided health insurance plans that do not cover

been brought under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which
broadly prohibits sex discrimination in the provision of
