I read an article about a woman who's trying this tactic (fighting gender ideology as a religion). I think she's a lawyer and she's collecting information to bolster her case. If I can find the article I will post it.

So much time is going to be spent fighting gender ideology through the judicial branch and exposing it for the lunatic hoax that it is... What are the Democrats thinking legislating gender ideology when it's all going to be undone by the courts, with the net result being making the Democrats look like guliable fools or tools of Big Gender's $$$?

That's been my thought too, but if the Equality Act passes that argument will be harder to make since, not only will gender be legally protected, but the bill will also eliminate religious defenses to gender discrimination.

I hope the friggin' Republicans step up to the plate and filibuster the Equality Act.

I am honestly starting to feel that few politicians on either side understand the ramifications of passing the Equality Act, because it has such horrible consequences for so many different groups and yet the push back has been so tepid, even on the GOP side.

Fun read https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/religion_and_the_constitution

In the first instance, the Establishment Clause states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion."

The first instance, in Article VI, is a proscription of any religious tests as a requisite qualification for public service.

Compelled pronouns? "TWAW"?

I see a problem with the wording "official" religion. Maybe the EA would make Genderwoowoo conscripted beliefs "official", legally?

I know that this is an imperfect analogy, but what I'm waiting for is a Scopes Monkey type-type trial where someone challenges the sex-is-a-spectrum-yet-you-can-be-the-opposite-sex-by-saying-you-are crowd in court.

My hope would be that the fantasy trial would finally allow biologists to confront the gender woo religion in court. Also that the ACLU, which was on side of science during the Scopes trial, be exposed as Big Gender-funded hypocrites when it inevitably sides with the Church of Genderology.
