“Gender” is not a biological term, it is a grammatical term.

Amazing how many seemingly intelligent people cannot make this distinction.

“On April 26, 1968, 19-year-old Paul Robert Cohen was arrested for wearing a jacket bearing the words “Fuck the Draft” in a corridor of the Los Angeles Hall of Justice.[1]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cohen_v._California

First Amendment rule articulated in Cohen v. California (1971) requiring people exposed to unwanted speech to avert their eyes and ears.

That case was not about political speech (opposition to the draft) but obscene speech. The ruling determined that obscene words were protected.

Had the shirt said, "Resist the draft," it would never have gotten to court. Everyone would have agreed that it was protected speech.

Judge is wrong. This is a political issue, the First was directly related to that.

Our Nation is dying and we are witnesses to its demise.
The murderers have lied to us for decades. The Press and most media outlets have pulled the wool over our collective eyes for decades.

We are distracted by the loons amongst us that strive to convince us that there are more than two sexes, Blacks are still enslaved by wicked “Whitey,” And men can have babies.

We have seen the Department of Justice changed to a weapon that can be used on a former President because he plans to run for office again.

Our Dollar has lost the respect of the World and will soon be, changed to a chip that will enable the government to track everything you do, privately, with cash.

Our Military is no longer tough enough to fight and is ill equipped to win on the battlefield..

But, we should never lose hope. It could be all that is left.

“So the more recent additions of common or neutral- I wonder what basis they have for being created in the first place.”

Neuter is not a recent addition. I learned about neuter when I took German in high school 40 years ago. Not sure about “common”.

If he is brave enough to take on his peers, his school’s administration, and social media at 12 this young man has a bright future ahead of him, far better than the conformist herd. See my new tagline.

They may have other problems, but I think having difficulties defining a male and a woman isn’t one of them.

I'd say the majority of Americans and Brits haven't abandoned their common sense either, as shown by the pushback from otherwise liberal people like JK Rowling. It's a just a shrill minority of ivory tower dwellers who genuinely believe this malarkey and a slightly larger number of people who go along to get along with said elites. Admittedly, the minority has disproportionate social power relative to their numbers, but I am confident that we can prevail if we keep speaking up. You don't have to look to Russia (or even to the red states) to find people willing to stand up to the gender bullies.

Utterly illogical and unsupported. These people are running out of control. This ass should be pointedly ignored.

“There is no such right.“

That a Judge arrived at such a conclusion is all the proof you need that she’d jail you for that t-shirt. That makes this judge dangerous.

Not yet but the Demoncrats are sure trying to kill it. If they succeed in packing SCOTUS then it probably is dead.
