The Equality Act amends the Civil Rights Act to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity in employment, housing, public accommodations, public education, federal funding, credit, and the jury system.

AND SEX AND RACE, yet we have Affirmative Action which is in DIRECT conflict with The Civil Rights act!
The war beteeen women and trans women is forthcoming. You can bet on it.
There won’t be war between women and trans women ... it will be women against Democrats who are supporting Radical Leftists. Looks like the Total Hysterical Meltdown Leftists are going to dump their biggest Demographic ... Women.
Mothers, teens, female athletes and Lesbians are against biological males competing & showering with females.
They want to revise Civil Rights legislation. This is bigger than sports... it just hasn't revealed itself yet.
^^^^^This. It is SPECIAL RIGHTS over and above other people's rights for select groups now. Blacks, Women, LGBTxyz. Next will be Muslims, and Illegal Aliens. This is totally against the concept if the U.S.
I have no problem with women competing with men for slots on male teams. But don't be a male, dressed up as a female (lying) and try to unfairly compete with real women.
I fully support having women play on mens sports teams as well.
I'm not sure what you're trying to prove with your snarky response. I stand by my view and you/others will deal with it.
I can say the moon is purple but that does not make it reality.
Women do not, and can not be on mens professional teams, because the best woman is not as good as the worst player on any mens team, whether it be basketball or any other physical sport.
The irony of course is that this subject is the opposite, and poses a serious threat to womens sports.
For example, the top men tennis players will not suddenly become women to compete, because they are making a fortune and do not want to ruin their reputations.
However once you get outside the top 200 men or so on the ATP tour, many of those guys are struggling to make ends meet money wise.
Yet any of them, say in the top 500-1000 could wipe the floor with the top women on the WTA tour. Remember most tournaments give equal prize money to both the men & women.
So one of these guys barely making a living might decide to "identify" as a woman, and be able to win hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions.
I don't watch womens sports so in some ways do not care about it. However I also understand that the leftists want to rub raw every tradition, norm, and custom in our culture. If they take the side of the rare transsexual over womens best interests, they will potentially ruin womens sports.
Frankly I do not see how that benefits anything.
Do you?
Mixing and matching from each column suggests drastic — and unanticipated — implications of the proposed law:
1) Dating apps aimed at specific communities like J-Swipe (Jewish), Mutual (Mormon), MiCrush (Latino), and ChristianMingle could be forced to shut down or radically change missions. New Jersey’s version of the Equality Act was used in 2010 to force the Christian-run eHarmony.com to stop its policy of matching only male-female couples.
2) A battered women’s shelter could no longer turn away men to keep female residents feeling safe. A man would not have to claim he was female to gain access, just that he was abused.
3) Similarly, a social-services organization providing food and shelter to “street kids” would be required to cater to 40- and 50-year-olds on an equal basis, even if that would destroy the agency’s mission.
4) Hair salons would not be able to charge women more, even if cutting women’s hair requires more time and skill. Currently, gender-based price discrimination is illegal only in California (although some courts elsewhere have also outlawed it).
5) Kosher food banks could be forbidden from favoring clients who need groceries meeting strict religious needs, since that would discriminate against non-Jews.
The bill amends the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to make “sexual orientation and gender identity” protected characteristics under federal anti-discrimination law.
Among other things, that would force public schools to expand female athletic teams to include biological males who identify as transgender girls.
...
Three former elite female athletes, Doriane Coleman, Martina Navratilova and Sanya Richards-Ross, warned that the Equality Act would wreak havoc on women’s sports in an April 29 Washington Post op-ed.
“The legislation would make it unlawful to differentiate among girls and women in sports on the basis of sex for any purpose. For example, a sports team couldn’t treat a transgender woman differently from a woman who is not transgender on the grounds that the former is male-bodied,” the former athletes wrote.
Which looker room would they use?
Synonymous vote:

The far left and the far right going in circles will collide one of these days. Both are nuts.
I'm left of center and I think this is CRAZY.
Well you are in good company, as so are people like Alan Dershowitz and John Turley among many others. However they (like possibly you) are old school liberals who believe in free speech, and much of traditional American values/traditions.
The leftist kooks that are running/leading the Democratic party today, make old school liberals look like conservatives.
I have two family members who have been life long Democrats, yet both are leaving the party. One said she cannot vote (R) in most cases, but will also not be voting (D) unless it is someone normal. It was a surprise to many because she was fairly hard left, as defined a decade or so ago.
The other one not only left the (D's), but has announced she is voting for Trump.
Everyone in the family (both left and right) dropped their jaws on both accounts.
But things like this issue, support of wackos like BLM & Antifa, etc. is causing many liberals and most moderates to say
