Under the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which aspect does NOT warrant protection in real estate transactions?

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination in various areas, including real estate transactions, based on several specific categories. The Act provides protections against discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.

Gender identity, while increasingly recognized and protected under various state and local laws, is not explicitly included in the original text of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This means that real estate transactions are not mandated to provide protection against discrimination based on gender identity under this federal law.

The other categories listed—race, sex, and color—are explicitly encompassed within the protections of the Civil Rights Act. This fundamental framework establishes the basis for fair housing practices, aiming to ensure that individuals are treated equitably in housing opportunities regardless of these traditional demographics.
