Or, to put it much more accurately:

The real issues behind this attack on Transgender rights by Sasha Fox.

"The conversation about this has been mostly centered around bathrooms. This is done for two reasons; One, it makes the issue seem smaller and less significant; people can wave it off and say “Just use the bathroom somewhere else” or “Just use the bathroom that doesn’t correspond with your gender identity” making it seem like it’s a big kerfuffle over a minor issue. Two, it allows them to establish a rule saying that transgender people are not the gender we identify as, without having to explicitly say it." This article cogently explains why this push has been revived, who benefits from it, and how broadly this stands to affect everyone's freedom.

It was the least I could do. :)

Now to keep my spine stiff and my voice heard when my coworker start suing ridiculous things.
