Could you explain why this is bad a little more please? I understand that women will be forced to let men who identify as women into their spaces, because only "gender" will matter, which is obviously a problem, but how does this legally affect sexuality?

Sorry - I didn't reply in this thread, but must have replied in another.

This is what I replied to a similar question someone else on this sub asked:

The Equality Act changes the legal definition of "sex" to include "gender identity," which has no real definition beyond vague phrases that often rely on sex role stereotypes.

For instance, Facebook offered 50 gender identities in the US and 70 or so gender identities in the UK. The UK's BBC just had a video it was pimping to kids that claimed 100 gender identities. How can we legislate based on gender identity when no one knows what it is, no one can describe it accurately, and so no one knows how many there are?

We pretty much each have our own gender identities. It's called a personality.

To make things worse, some (if not all - I'm not a lawyer so I don't know) of the laws protecting gays in the US are on the basis of sex, once "sex" legally includes the nebulous term "gender identity" who and what are those laws protecting?

Here is a very good site on the Equality Act's impact on women's rights. Some of it applies to gay men too so I would suggest Americans check it out and then take action - Call Congress, say you're LGB and say NO to the Equality Act.

Heterosexual folks claiming to be gay, and no one can say they're not gay because they identify as a trans lesbians / trans gay men?

Saying that Janet Mock is a homosexual/gay male, not a straight woman, because he identifies as trans is illegal now, I assume.
