For all those voting for Trump and or Republicans, well, the Republican party has its own Equality Act currently in the US House.

The FAIRNESS FOR ALL ACT would carve out religious exemptions but otherwise it's the Republican version of the Democrats' Equality Act and the Trump administration is "open" to it.

In their haste to placate the Rainbow Reich (and I mean the TQ+++ gender lobby attacking women's rights, not LGB who just fought for their own rights) both parties are more than happy to sell out women.

So if you're voting for Don the Con because of the Democrats Equality Act, don't bother because the Republicans have their own Equality Act waiting in the wings. And the GOP will make us a Banana Republic run by Demented Don to boot.

I hate feeling stupid, but when I read legislation stuff, I do feel stupid. So this bill would acknowledge "gender" and self-id as well? And it's only in housing or in everything? Both bills say men can "be" women?

I have Gender Chaos Fatigue.

This is what the Republican version, called the FAIRNESS FOR ALL Act, of the Equality Act would do - it's the same as the Equality Act in terms of throwing open all women's sex-segregated spaces and sports to men who identify as women.

FAIRNESS FOR ALL

The Fairness for All Act would force individuals and institutions to bow to transgender ideology, threatening privacy, safety, and fairness for women and girls.

Schools, businesses, and other public accommodations would be forced to allow biological males access to women’s restrooms and locker rooms on the basis of self-declared gender identity. This poses a serious risk of abuse by predators.

Yep. Dem Equality Act with a religious exemption. However, it was written so that the courts could strike down the religious exemption and leave the rest as enforceable law. So, it's the Dems bill introduced on the Republican side ( by RINOs - Republican In Name Only)
