Fake outrage. This has no effect on you if you’re not trans
Wrong. Here's one way it could affect you: let's suppose that you need to hire a contractor to work on your house. You accept bids from 2 applicants. The one that you didn't choose can say that you didn't hire him because he is a woman (maybe he only dresses as female after work). Even though the losing contractor is a Big Jahh looking breh, he can claim to identify as female (no surgery required), get a birth certificate to substantiate his claim, and sue you for discrimination.

Suing for discrimination isn't unique to trans people

Does that come with the requisite "formerly known as..." addon that people who get name changes always get, or is everyone just supposed to forget what came before? :patrice:

That wasn't my argument. What I said was that in an already overly litigious environment (like the Commomwealth of Virginia), people will now have yet another way to file a frivilous lawsuit.
Beyond lawsuits, another obvious problem is for those people in the dating pool who want to date a biological male or female.
Yet another problem is for people (specifically women and/or students) who now can be legally forced to share locker rooms and restrooms with transgenders.
My point is that this ruling will have a larger effect than you may realize.
