I read this amendment and it says "on account of sex" not gender.

I think you may be confused as to the definitions of "sex" and "gender". Sex is the classification of males and females based on their reproductive organs, while "gender" refers to the societal or cultural identity of the sexes.

Dilly, sex is also defined as the activity as in "I did not have sexual relations with that woman." The argument is exactly the problem in the ERA. Sex is commonly considered the behavior..."sex partner" does refer to the organs but rather what they are doing with them. The concept of gender is certainly a societal, cultural or psychological identity, generally divided by what we term male and female. Those who believe this bill is about women have a rude awakening in store. This exact question which you brought up is why it is critical clear, concise wording is contained within the ERA Amendment wording.
I appreciate your observation. I truly believe if this is all smoke and mirrors, the various states would not be still voting on the matter.
