Under the bill, all federally funded entities, from educational programs (college sports teams, school bathrooms) to public accommodations (women’s shelters, locker rooms), would be forced to interpret “sex” to include “gender identity.” In other words, to treat men as women if they identify as such, and vice versa.
Already we are seeing the harmful effects of such policies. In the state of Connecticut, two biologically male students who self-identified as transgender finished first and second in an event in the girls’ high-school track championships. A biological man asked the Massachusetts attorney general’s office to force a women’s spa to wax his genitals. In Palm Springs, Calif., three teenage girls encountered a naked man showering in the women’s locker room. All of these incidents are part of a social and legal revolution that the Equality Act would advance.
https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/04/the-equality-act-is-about-coercion/This is a no win for all sides - I empathize with those who live with the issue in question. What to do by force to the rest of us for the sake of possibly ameliorating the suffering of this population is vexing. Use of the vast coercive power of the government in this way will hurt more people than it helps.
