As strange as this sounds, the states have never amended the Constitution to make transgenderism an enumerated right. So the states are free to make laws which discriminate against transgenderism imo, as long as such laws don’t unreasonably abridge constitutionally enumerated rights.

Note that corrupt politicians are promising civil rights to protect perversions in order to win votes. The problem is that federal laws concerning civil rights must be reasonably based on enumerated constitutional protections which the states have amended to the Constituton. This is evidenced by wording in several amendments which grant Congress the power to protect a specific right. And many existing federal civil rights laws aren’t supported by enumerated protections and shouldn’t be in the books imo.

Sadly, the reason that politicians have gotten away with establishing constitutionally indefensible civil rights is because parents have not been making sure that their children are being taught the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers.

That is technically still true with homosexuals. But the courts have grown to call any law which regulates their conduct “irrational.”

Liberal judges are rewriting the constitution, no lawmakers required.
