I have a HUGE problem with a guy who identifies as a woman using the women’s bathroom.
Double standard? Absolutely. Life is full of them. Get used to it.
Why do you think it's your place to decide this?

This will be interesting to watch. Do you think this or some other future case will go to the Supreme Court? It seems like a perfect example of the kind of free speech censorship are frustrated with. Even Rep. Moultan (D) is facing backlash for even raising a related issue regarding trans women in sports.
We cannot make laws to suppress speech for every instance which may offend someone. Not to mention that it goes against free speech. Clearly, I’m no lawyer and I know saying things that incite a riot or panic (eg, shouting fire or bomb in certain contexts) is prohibited. But censorship like this also creates hostilities AND leaves no room for healthy debate. People may not like the other side on trans issues, but both sides can learn something from the other if we allow free speech and not censor everything.
Yes it will be the number one concern of the Supreme Court. That is only if Fox News picks it up and enough money is spread around to the “conservatives” on the court.
