You know, the same kind of "critical thinking" comes up when people complain about someone using a handicapped parking spot when they have no visible handicap. They could have heart or lung problems, but no, only visible orthopedic problems, or maybe the use of oxygen count to these critical thinkers who think they are oh, so clever in setting up a trap that to catch people in.

What's also quite simple is the fact that a trait doesn't have to be "visible" in order for people possessing it to be explicitly protected from discrimination.

Religion isn't "visible" either, but it is illegal everywhere to discriminate against someone on the basis of their religion or lack thereof.

You can arrogantly declare "victory" all you like -- you're still wrong.
