Telling an employer they "have to hire transgender people" or "they cannot fire transgender people" would violate their property rights, sure. But I don't think that's what we're talking about in the past couple pages. If employers deny employment to individuals, either partially because of, or entirely because of, their gender status, these employers are practicing a form of discrimination that absolutely should not be tolerated.
So it's not that we're saying "you cannot fire transgender people" or "you have to hire transgender people", we're saying "you cannot fire people just because they are transgender" and "you cannot deny employment to people just because they are transgender". There is a difference.
