The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was actually a Trojan Horse: an un-Constitutional perversion of unalienable rights - and the actual Bill of Rights - which has now effectively superceded all real rights, especially freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom of association.

By my diktat, every sentence addressed to me must begin with the words “Yes, Ma’am”.

My preferred pronoun is “Your grace.”

Male and female He created them. Forcing me to use any other gender classification other than the XX or XY chromosomes people are born with is a violation of my First Amendment right to practice my religion. It would also be a grave disservice to anyone who is so mentally ill as to believe there is anything they can possibly do to change his or her gender. There is nothing charitable in humoring a self-destructive delusion.

Why am I supposed to accept "their reality" when they don't accept reality.

I think just gently trying to explain to them the inherent immorality and utter doom to failure their path is leading them to and ask to pray together with them.

While breaking their arms and legs with a baseball bat.

But that’s just me.

JK!!! I do not condone violence of any kind.

What is needed are pronouns to associate with people such Aimee Stephens or the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.

These pronouns would include the definition that, regardless of their sex or preferred gender, such people are BATCRAP CRAZY!!

This goes to a very profound first amendment issue, that is, “can others be *compelled* to agree with you?”

On the surface, if a man goes through surgery and takes hormones, all with the intent to appear to be a woman, should it compel others to agree that they are now a woman?

However, the first big issue there is, “If that individual then uses their assumed status to *defraud* others, that they are a natural, and fertile, woman, should they be able to commit fraud legally?”

This happens a lot with transgenders, in which they attract a male who wants to meet, marry, and have children with a woman; but they steal his money, time and reputation by being something he does not want.

This is not a frivolous statement, either:

“A recent Journal of Social and Personal Relationships study found that nearly 90 percent of survey respondents are not interested in dating transgender people. In a Psychology Today article on the study, coauthor Karen Blair implies these findings demonstrate significant discrimination—or at least an unwillingness to be inclusive—in dating.

“However, instead of pointing out the obvious truth that biological cues are foundational for sexual and romantic attraction, the author goes to great lengths to convey sympathy for the exclusion of transgenders in the dating field as if it’s merely a social justice issue. This is yet another avenue progressives are using to encourage others to deny biological reality and normalize abnormal behaviors.”

So now the question to the Supreme Court becomes, should the courts become privy to fraud?

demand to be called by my preferred title, either Senator, Excellency, or President

I've already told the wife and kids that mine are: Highness, Your Majesty, Your Royalness, and my absolute preference of "Lord and Master of the Space Time Continuum". Sadly, she refuses to use any of those and more often than not, uses only one finger to wave at me when I suggest otherwise. Although I like to think that deep inside, she's actually waving with her whole heart when she does that.

Who is going to patronize a funeral parlor with a man in a dress working there? No one, that’s who. Discrimination, my ass. Discrimination against crazy is still ok, I guess.

Very few are going anywhere near surgery. Most are just DECLARING themselves to be the opposite of what they are and on the strength of that DECLARATION go around bullying everyone about what words are permitted and what words are not.

This really is a philosophical argument. Many people believe that reality is subject to their own private interpretation. Others say that subjective ideas are subservient to real scientific facts. Last one standing wins. Wisdom is justified by her children.

We need an appropriate acronym. Like PICRU: pronoun I can’t religiously use.

Gender is a grammatical term. It’s use is total Newspeak. I use the word sex.
