Trans Rights Undermine Women’s Rights Everywhere They're Imposed
Earlier this week, the Supreme Court passed a historic ruling on sex and gender identity in the workplace. It's been lauded as a huge win for the transgender community. But a win at what cost?
We will not be discussing the dangerous fact that the Court purposefully changed the interpretation of sex in the 1964 Civil Rights act from a definition of biological sex to one of gender identity. What we're going to focus on is what the increasing push to eliminate biological sex as a means of identifying people in favor of a focus on subjective "gender identity." In a society that has room for lots of types of people, we should be able to accommodate a small number of people who don't fit into traditional gender roles. But when those accommodations come at the cost of women being able to retain their long-fought-for rights, it becomes a separate issue.
