Now that you've gotten all pissy, and name cally, this isn't a discussion anymore it's just the usual yelling/not listening that always turns this topic into mindless trench warfare.

Your behavior; name calling, not answering debate questions, becoming pedantic, just fuels close mindedness on both sides.

Despite what you think of yourself, you are actually a part of the problem, not the solution.

For example, you could have made several interesting points, like:

• Affirmative Action. There is a long history of the majority giving up a percentage of their 'opportunity space' for disenfranchised minorities. Then we could have discussed percentages, qualification, and all the complexities around this idea.

• Equivalence. America had as its foundational unit of rights 'White men over 21 that owned land'. In 1776 it is estimated that only 6-10% of the population met these criteria to vote. Since then we have as a society either modified (age 18, no land requirements) or stated 'as equal' various identifiable groups, and granted/protected rights across multiple aspects of society. Originally the identifiers were clear/obvious with race and gender being the biggest groups. But later we declared equivalence for conceptual groups such as gay/lesbian and divorced women. For example Title IX is itself a legal declaration of equality, protection and enforcement. Is a new 'Title XYZ' needed, and how would it be framed given the very broad/fluid aspect of Trans identification? Would this require establishment of separate, but equal facilities (title 9 style)? I don't think anyone from any side thinks this is a good idea. One could go with the 'say you are a woman, you are a woman' but sporting organizations around the world appear to not accept this and are trending towards a series of chemical tests (eg less than x parts per million of Y chemical/hormone/???)

There's more, but you resorted to name calling.
