[quote=Anonymous]So many things about this don’t make sense.

If innate and immutable gender identity is what makes someone a man or woman, then why all the medicalization and plastic surgery?

I understand why transwomen want surgery to “pass” or look like their ideal version of themselves. But if gender is innate, they are women no matter what, right? Regardless of surgery or hormones? Am I, a cis woman, entitled to plastic surgery to enhance my flat chest and decrease bone mass in my jawline so that I can be “the woman I was meant to be?”

I’m not worried about trangendered people taking advantage of restrooms to commit crimes that are already illegal. I don’t think the “equality” act is going to result in significant numbers of boys identifying as girls just to get top spots in sports.

My daughter is a competitive swimmer. She has put in thousands of hours of practice and I have encouraged her. We have taken for granted that she she will compete against other females - if she was competing against males then of course she would not have a chance at winning or a scholarship. If she works this hard all of her life only to get beat by a biological male, then no I am not ok with it. [/quote]
