Huh? I just thought sexual discrimination was stuff like not hiring women and stuff like that

It includes both discrimination based on gender and sexual as in sexual acts. These things tend to go hand in hand by nature.

So if you fire your employee or whatever for having the nerve to complain about being sexually assaulted it is sexual discrimination. If you treat them unfairly based on gender it is also sexual discrimination.

Semantically you could probably get away with separation of the two concepts into gender discrimination and sexual discrimination now but legally they both fall under the same terminology.

TIL. I had only seen it used for discrimination based on sex (or gender). That's why I was confused on how that played into this (and got pretty shit reaction for it for some reason, but Lemmy is Lemmy)
