Gender identity is defined as a personal conception of oneself as male, female, both, or neither. In 2014, President Obama signed an executive order barring discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity among federal contractors. The order covered employers who perform federal work and protected an estimated 20 percent of American workers. Opponents included religious groups, who argued that the order would prevent them from receiving federal money or contracts if they could not meet the new guidelines because of their beliefs. Proponents argue that the order was nece…

I feel we should not add it to the law, but still help anyone with gender identity so that they are comfortable.
@8NCRRZL4yrs4Y
Yes and no. While switching genders is perfectly fine and possible (especially with today's technology), creating/making up new genders is somewhat absurd.
@4X879L54yrs4Y
No, gender identity is not real and transexualism is a disease
@4Q7XPWF4yrs4Y
yes, and the government should do more to protect minorities from discrimination. saying that someone's gender identity or sexuality is against your religious beliefs is ridiculous. It does not force you to be aother gender who love your own sex. people are just homophobic and do not want people to be who they want to be.
@carsonshaw254yrs4Y
If you have a man's urinary system use the men's room. If you have a female's urinary system use the woman's room. Shouldn't matter about the "identification".
@4XC4KJB4yrs4Y
Gender and sex are not the same thing. This issue is not well enough understood for government to act on it. Gender is psychological, sex is biological, gender shouldn't be treated like sex and sex shouldn't be treated like gender.

Yikes, at this point democrats really are just virtue-signaling to get votes. Ugh, I think it’s time they started adjusting a bit, moderate immigration views, focus less on DEI, more on social welfare and workers rights. Not too big an ask personally.
@Patriot-#17761Y
It had been for decades – Democrats and Whigs, before that, Federalists and Jeffersonian Republicans. He was not expected to win.
@9CJ6CB61Y
We also just had a large amount of parties at the time that remained relevant. The chances of splitting the vote were sorta much higher, so I’d say that him winning wasn’t as much of an independent run as it was a minority party win. Though, it remained impressive all the same.

I hope people know this is how a country collapses before dictatorship. Everyone fell for propaganda and now major consequences will ensue. Stay tuned.

Utah Sets Restrictions on Transgender People’s Bathroom Use
@ResolvedVole1Y
So I'm just wondering. If someone has transitioned and is in say a courthouse, and goes to the rest room, and uses a stall - would anyone really know what gender they are? Would anyone really care except these people fixated on other people's genitals?
@NegotiationBuck1Y
Utah is a state with filthy air and worse to come as the Great Salt Lake dries up. And yet its busybody Legislature and weak-kneed Governor occupy themselves with mean-spirited — nay, vicious — solutions in search of problems. Hope the corporate and sports (Olympics, Jazz, Major League Baseball) come down really hard on Utah.
@ResolvedVole1Y
Conservatives sure spend a lot of time worrying about where people urinate. One of the big arguments they made against the Equal Rights Amendment was that “men and women will have to share restrooms”. That would have been fine with me, if it meant equal pay, but alas, it was not to be.
Purportedly, their reason is to protect woman from sexual assault. That being the case, are they planning on banning men from department store stockrooms, book stores, buses, law offices, tourist sites, and dorm lounges? Those are all places where I have been sexually assaulted.
@Freedom7611MO
If you need to prop up your false, delusional, "identity" by forcing everyone to celebrate it, that's a sign your "identity" is false, as well as sign that you're a narcissist.
@Madeline120811MO
when did I force anyone to celebrate my identity
if you're referring to the trans day of remembrance is a holiday to remember trans people who were murdered. Nobody asked you to celebrate it if you don't want
@Freedom7611MO
Transgender people force everyone to celebrate their identity by demanding that we use made-up "pronouns" and crying if we don't. Also, loads of transgenderites are literally so hypersensitive that whenever anyone refuses to play along with their game, they threaten to commit suicide – the most narcissistic thing imaginable. And the notion that trans people are being murdered, or that there's a "trans genocide" in America is BS. When you actually examine the statistics correctly, and factor in everything, transgenderites are *SAFER* than the average white… Read more

Should “gender identity” be added to anti-discrimination laws?
@TheHillbillyLord3MO
it depends, if its race or religion then we should help them achieve equality (not equity), but if its feminism or lgbtq+ then they do deserve to be "trampled" by the majority.
@SkepTex3MO
I didn’t ask you, but why don’t you want liberty and justice for all? Why don’t you want fairness and justice (equity) for racial and religious minorities? Why do you think discrimination is ok?
Provide an example of religious inequality in the U.S.
See Bostock v. Clayton County below for examples of sex discrimination
@TheHillbillyLord3W
Equity is equal outcome for everyone regardless of merits, basically communism. Equality is what America is founded on, not equity. People with more merits deserve to live a better life than thos without merit. People should be able to consume from society according to what they can produce for society.
