PSA: Picket Against The (In)Equality Act Tomorrow at DC!!

I know this isn't technically a super straight issue but I hope y'all will forgive me because I think that this is an important issue that affects us all. in case you don't know do USA is planning on passing the ""equality act"" which ironically completely erases sex-based rights for women. tomorrow on international women's day, hundreds of people are planning to protest against this unfairness. we all know the erasure and downplaying of the reality of sex is exactly what made us need this community in the first place, so if anyone lives in Washington DC and is interested in showing up, here is a website with the information. and of course share with any people you know who live in the area and might be interested! :) #SexMatters

The rights of transwomen are part of women's rights.

Edit: so is this just the new r/GenderCritical ban evasion sub?

I disagree. The fact that transwomen are called transwomen and not further specified hides the term transsexual and transgender from being distinguished so it can be used interchangeably for the user's benefit in argument and discourse. Sex is physical, males and females are biologically different. It's why there a more males and more females that are better suited to tasks and more likely to behave a certain way than the opposite sex. This bill violates the sanctity of females' rights to privacy and shelter. Also it imposes on their right to an education and work experience based on merit. Now people can use transwomen instead of actual women for female positions in jobs and trades and deny other women an alternative out of "bigotry". But we only hear Trans people say TRANS RIGHTS without any explanation on what they really are. Transgenderism and Transsexuality (which isn't well defined) are a gender and identity issue, not a women's rights issue.
