Hormone Imbalance Legal Protection

Meaning

Hormone Imbalance Legal Protection describes the application of disability and non-discrimination laws to shield individuals from adverse treatment due to a diagnosed condition involving endocrine dysregulation. This framework recognizes that chronic hormonal imbalances, such as severe polycystic ovary syndrome or untreated hypothyroidism, can substantially limit major life activities, qualifying them for protection under statutes like the Americans with Disabilities Act, or ADA. The legal safeguards ensure equitable access to employment, education, and public services without prejudice based on physiological status.
