Whoa. I didn't realize that it gave out her social security number! What the fuck is wrong with them? I hope she gets a decent amount of cash from those assholes and I'm happy she got her job back. God, this woman deserves a break already.

Um, what? This isn't even comparable to white people being denied access to an event for black people because trans women are less privileged than white women. You seem like you think male privilege applies to them. It doesn't because they are women.

I ask this honestly and not snarkily, because this question is always what gets me when I encounter viewpoints like yours: Why are biological parts a special indicator?
