It's similar to race or age being a protected class. Doesn't matter which race or what number.
Yes, it would protect people I strongly disagree with, and it would give just about everyone a way to make their firing a court battle. However, the idea is that the fired individual would need proof that it isn't what the company claims, and it is what they claim.
I believe a person should keep or lose their job based on their merit, their ability to fulfill what is requested of them, and the company's current needs. If a person constantly underperforms or is caught wasting company time while providing average/below-average results, it's reasonable to remove them. If a person is caught breaking rules of various importance (stop harassing Linda, don't steal company property, etc), it's reasonable to remove them. If a company decides to stop selling toasters and start selling televisions, it's reasonable to remove the toaster specialists.
I don't think it's cool if a company fired someone solely because they believe there are 2 genders, 32 genders, no genders, or infinite genders, especially if they're good at their job and follow policies/requests made of them.
