    The Equality Act changes the legal definition of "sex" to include "gender identity" which then makes it impossible to define "sex" as there really isn't a coherent, or even remotely sane, definition of gender identity.

    So then it becomes impossible to legally define women and gay men - what does "same sex attraction" "sexual orientation" or "homosexual" mean when "sex" also includes "gender identity"? Nothing.

    The Equality Act seems to prioritize "gender identity" over biological sex when there is a conflict.

    Any legislation that protects women on the basis of sex will no longer make sense. Same thing with gay males. Many of the legal protections for both groups is on the basis of sex.

      Specifically:

      1. the right to sex-segregated spaces. Including but not limited to: bathrooms, prisons, shelters, changerooms, clubs.

      2. The right to free association. Women cannot organize among themselves without the presence of males. We can't start a women's book club, or music festival, or lesbian rights organization, or support group, and be able to specify who it's by and for. We always get some blue-haired man demanding to be let in, and threatening rape, arson, or murder for "excluding" him. Or nailing dead rats to the door. See for example: Vancouver Rape Relief. Or, we get whiny regular men white-knighting for the TRAs, like you.

      3. The right to free speech. We are now compelled to call a man a woman. Which is a fucking lie. We're being compelled to lie by law. Let that sink in.
