    How is allowing people to identify as the gender that fits them abusive to women?

      No one cares what you “identify” as. Identify as a turkey for all anyone cares. The problem is with coerced speech and trying to invade sex-specific places and events.

        Coerced speech? Invading? Boy that does sound scary.

        You have any other completely imaginary strawmen we should be hypothetically scared of?

          Coerced speech like how some places are now looking at making “misgendering” and “using the wrong pronouns” illegal.

          Not sure what word other than “invading” you would user for biological men going in to places designed specifically only for biological women?

          Do you even know what a strawman is?

                From the (fox news, of course) link:

                A recently passed bill in Michigan could make it a felony to intimidate someone by intentionally using the wrong gender pronouns, according to some legal experts.

                The article quotes only one person, but I suppose “some experts” is just an oversight, and not because fox knows its credulous audience won’t bother reading too closely or critically. Or looking up the “expert” around whom the story pivots. No huge surprise, he’s the founder of a Christian think tank that focuses on legislating Christianity as law. They’re anti-lgbt, anti-abortion, and antivaxx.

                Got someone who isn’t an alarmist bent on violating everyone’s religious liberty?
