Fuck NPR and their transgender agenda! Sex! It was SEX based discrimination! Women may well be the big losers now this great woman has passed.

The real Ginsburg made this point in her majority opinion in United States v. Virginia, which ordered Virginia Military Institute, the state’s all-male military school, to become coed. There, she wrote that “[p]hysical differences between men and women … are enduring,” and, quoting Ballard v. United States, added, “[t]he two sexes are not fungible.”

Also, that same case:

Ginsburg wrote that the Virginia Military Institute “would undoubtedly require alterations necessary to afford members of each sex privacy from the other sex in living arrangements.”

This case was mid 90s, so she was aware of transsexuals.

Edit last sentence.

We should quote her more often on this frankly.
