I am almost certain to be in the tiniest of minorities here, but don't we have to at least give credit to the radical feminists for being ideologically consistent?
After all, the goal has been to obliterate not only gender differences, but also genders. If everyone is "equal," then why not?
I suspect this will remain a side issue for most until such time as it affects personal livelihoods in a more direct way. Now it only "theoretically" affects scholarship opportunities (etc.), but what happens when we start seeing transgenders in the WNBA, women's soccer (club & national teams), etc.? Speaking of soccer, I can just imagine U.S. Soccer deciding that if it has to pay the women's team at the same rate as the men's why not look for transgender athletes to fill out the roster...?
We are now where folks warned us years ago this would go; that Title IX would be abused in the most ludicrous of ways.
WRT this issue I'm sure of two things. First, that the whole thing (i.e., pushing/passing this "Equality Act") is a mockery, a travesty, embarrassing, and utterly stupid. And second, I'm sure to be criticized in that my being pro-women will be turned on its head as being "anti-fill in the blank" (at a minimum, "anti-trans") and that I'm some sort of a "fill in the blank-ist" (whatever the "-ist" is for being "anti-trans").
